ST ANNE’S NS
In Rathangan School we are doing our bit to raise awareness of and reduce climate change. We are recycling, using less water and turning the lights off when we are not using them. Also this year we are going for our fourth Green School Flag which is ‘TRAVEL’. This ties in well with climate change as it requires us to try walk, cycle or carpool where possible instead of using the cars. We ask that all the families in our community do their bit for climate change. Thank you from all at St Anne’s NS Rose of Rathangan.
Are you up for a laugh? come support our ‘Rose of Rathangan’ fundraiser on November 25 in Rathangan Bar. Tickets are only €5 or €10 on the door. Check out Facebook to find out more about this fun filled evening and see local lads as you never seen them before vying for the crown.
