World Heart Day
Liscarroll National School celebrated World Heart Day on 29th September. The pupils and staff wore red to mark the day. WHD was created to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease and make strides to reduce it around the world. Healthy eating and keeping active are great ways to maintain a healthy heart. The pupils and staff of our school embrace these two initiatives by having healthy lunches and regularly exercising, as we are an Active School.
SNA Appreciation Day
We were delighted to celebrate the first SNA Appreciation Day in Liscarroll NS. The SNAs in our school play a very important role in supporting the pupils in our school and are at the heart of our school. On Spetember 26th, we were delighted to celebrate the vital role these people play in our school. All the teaching staff brought in lovely baking and treats for the SNAs to have with their tea. The principal organised that the staff room had a celebratory atomosphere. Our SNAs well deserved this treat. Thanks to you all for the great work you do on a daily basis.
The first picture is of the two longest serving SNAs in our school, Siobhán & Helen.
Below you will see some more pictures of our wonderful SNAs with many more too shy to get their photo taken.
A big 'THANKS' to all of you.
School Fundraiser was a Huge Success
Well done to everyone from Liscarroll, it's surrounding areas and the general public who came to Charleville Showgrounds to support Liscarroll NS Annual Auto Jumble Fundraiser. A sincere thanks to Seán Bradley, and his crew of volunteers including Tom Griffin, for co-ordinating the event. They put in a tremendous effort and it paid off. Thanks to all the staff and the Parents Association for all their hard work on the day and leading up to the event. A big 'Thank You' to all our sponsors and to Charleville Showground Committee for allowing us to use the premises. Finally, thanks to all the exhibitors and trade stalls for setting up on the day.
We were delighted with the amount of dogs that turned up for our dog show. They were well turned out and on their best behaviour. Judges Shane Roche, Collette Sexton and Louise O'Sullivan, had some very tough decisions to make. We were also delighted to welcome Tik Tok star, Eoin 'Mad for Slurry'Lynch, fresh from the Ploughing and The Late Late Show at the weekend.
The day was a tremendous success with just over €5,000 raised for the school.

National Hedgerow Week
Shaizia came to our school today from the National heritage council to celebrate National Hedgerow week.
She worked with the classes from 2nd to 6th and the children in Lios Cúram. She explained to the classes about biodiversity and about the hedgerows around Ireland.
Firstly, we split into groups and tried to identify some leaves that she had brought in that were native to Ireland.
We then discussed plants and animals that were native to the local area of Liscarroll.
We explored the hedgerows in our school and we took part in a hunt to try and find as many leaves and plants that we could that were on her list.
Shazia was very knowledgeable and gave us an opportunity to ask loads of questions and have very interesting discussions.
It was a very interesting visit and a great way to celebrate National Hedgerow Week!
A big thank you to 5th class teacher, Sinéad Ducey, for organising this visit.
