On Wednesday 15th December Clonpriest N.S. took part in the One Million Trees Campaign in conjunction with Self Help Africa and the INTO. We planted five trees in our school field – one for each classroom. Sixth Class planted a Rowan Tree, Fifth Class planted a Birch Tree, Third and Fourth planted a Hazel Tree, First and Second planted a Hawthorn Tree and The Infants planted a second Rowan Tree.

On the day we all dressed up as Christmas Trees to raise money for Self Help Africa! There were prizes for the most creative costumes. Mrs. O`Neill had a very difficult time choosing winners as everyone made such a brilliant effort. Well done!

Our school raised 460 Euro in total. This will help Self Help Africa plant 2,000 trees in our school`s name!! Thank you to everyone who contributed so generously.
