SPLIT THE POT

The staff of Scoil Áodan Naofa would like to express a sincere thank you to all those who supported our split-the-pot draw during the last school year.

A huge thank you also goes to the businesses in Carnew, who promoted and allowed us to leave tickets in their premises, without this support we could not have had the success we did. The money raised purchased many necessary, vital resources and equipment to benefit our children.

We invested in new basketball systems, goal posts, yard games, sets of books, computer equipment and renovated a medical/ chill out room.

Your support was vital and greatly appreciated and we look forward to your continued support in September when our splitthe-pot recommences.
