Lismackin Celebrate Third Green Flag

A special ceremony to celebrate Lismackin National School receiving their third green flag was held on Tuesday, 27th. May 2008.

The flag was raised by local councillor and past pupil of the school, Michael Smith, assisted by the two youngest pupils of the school. Fr. Noel Kennedy PP, Noel Coonan T.D and Mrs Nancy Lynch, retired teacher, were among the guests on the day.

The school choir, conducted by our principal, Mrs Ryan and accompanied by our music teacher, Mr. Joe O'Brien, entertained the school community with a beautiful rendition of Speed your Journey, Ring of Fire, and Any Dream will Do.

Ms Emma Boland co-ordinator of the Green Schools and her enthusiastic Green Schools committee explained to the gathering how the school had achieved their third green flag award. Representatives from classes- infants to sixth, elaborated on the various projects carried out to highlight awareness of our need to conserve water usage and quality. A demonstration by 5th. and 6th. class showed vividly how thoughtless actions pollute our rivers. These projects can be viewed on the school web site http://lismackin.ie

A cheque was presented to the school by representatives from the Parents Council who had raised €1500 through the production of a very popular school calendar earlier in the year. This will be put towards the installation of an IWB i Seomra Rang a haon agus a dó. The Chairperson acknowledged the support of the parents council
Parents, children and guests enjoyed refreshments afterwards, and then children took part in school sports activities and played on the bouncing castles provided for the day.

A Great Day was had by all !

Thanks to everyone who made the event so successful and pleasurable.
