PARENT’S ASSOCIATION:
The Parent’s Association of Achonry National School held their AGM recently. School Principal Ms. Cora Kivlehan addressed the meeting giving a detailed account of the academic programmes currently the school. The committee for 2017 was elected and we hope they will get your support for the coming year. It was decided to go ahead with the annual Clothes Collection (dates to follow) So let’s start packing those bags and pass the word on to extended family, neighbours and friends and put in a big effort.
