ONE GREAT TIME - TWO WORTHY CAUSES

Members of Loreto Secondary School, Fermoy Parents’ Association were out bright and early on Sunday morning for their Walk In The Park fundraiser - proceeds from the event were divided between the association and the Red Cross Ukraine Appeal.

Organisers didn’t come empty handed and over the next couple of hours dozens of Easter eggs were distributed.

WALK, RUN OR HOP

The venue was St Colman’s Walkway, which is a tremendous asset for the people of Fermoy and beyond. Non-competitive, participants were invited to walk, run or hop around the route - well away from cars and other traffic. Those who came closest to hopping around the circuit were Ballyderown sisters, Mollie and Meghan Slattery, who came dressed as Easter bunnies - the girls were accompanied by their mother, Jenni. Others also entered into the fancy dress spirit, with several Marvel film heroes making guest appearances.

PARENTS’ ASSOCIATION BACKING UP LORETO

There are associated costs with a school’s extra-curricular activities and Loreto Secondary School, Fermoy is fortunate to have such steadfast backing from its parents’ association - presently, finances are overseen by treasurer, Orla Cronin. Much of the association’s time and resources go towards fundraising and last Sunday was an example of this. In keeping with this nation’s solidarity and support for the people of Ukraine, proceeds from last weekend were shared with the Red Cross.
