On Tuesday the whole school and parents descended on the nearby Drumcairne Forest Park for a forest trail and sponsored walk. The walk was also in conjunction with the Forest Stewardship Council which aims to promote awareness of local forests.
The FSC generously donated pencils, gifts, bookmarks and the all important forest pledge for every pupil. Local businesses also got involved by sponsoring the children’s healthy break: Rockwell sponsored the bottled water and Orchard County Foods, ‘Simply Fruit’ sponsored the fruit snack with our School Meals kitchen staff making the delicious oatmeal cookies.
St. Mary’s parents were on hand to share out the goodies when the children returned form their walk. A great event promoting health, fitness and environmental awareness.
