Trick or Treat for Temple Street
We had our annual Halloween Costume day before the October mid-term break. It was great fun and we raised €100 for Temple Street Hospital. Well done to all!
National Tree Day 2024
5th & 6th Class planted a Hawthorn tree for National Tree Day. The beautiful Hawthorn Tree was kindly donated by the Tree Council of Ireland. The children learned loads about trees and appreciating the planet we live on.
Active Slogan Competition Winner!
St. Margaret’s National School celebrated a momentous occasion today as Laura Patton McDonald was crowned the winner of the highly competitive Active Slogan Competition. Her inspiring slogan, *”Get Fit to Get Fast ’cause if you Sit you’ll be Last!”*, stood out among numerous entries from students, encapsulating the essence of an active lifestyle with creativity and enthusiasm.
Active Week 2024
This year we had a very short Active Week due to a two day school week, but it did not disappoint. On Wednesday 5th June we had our annual school sponsored walk in Malahide Gardens followed by our whole school sports day in St. Margaret’s GAA club on the 6th June. Both events were a great success and all pupils and staff were kept active over these two very enjoyable days.
