Come along to St Mary’s Primary School on Monday 4th December at 7.00 pm and view the fantastic iMovie films created by a group of P 6 pupils and their parents. Each film tells the story of a historical site in the South Armagh area through, photo, narration and music. We are really proud of the work which pupils and parents have put into each of the films and we encourage you to come along Monday night.

Thank you to everyone involved we very much appreciate your kindness and support for the school.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to last night’s great success, Jim played to a packed hall and your generosity in buying tickets or making donations has meant that last night’s event has paid for our new projector and remote controlled screen for the Assembly Hall!!! To be able to tick off one of the bigger items on our shopping list is a great feeling and the projector should be in place the first week in July so in plenty of time for the beginning of the next school year!
A special word of thanks to past pupil and parent, Fiona Larkin, whose idea and contacts got the event for St. Mary’s! Also thanks to all the parents and staff on the I.C.T fund raising team who contribute their time and energy to the cause, it couldn’t happen without you!!
Thanks also to Silverbridge G.F.C, a great team of workers on the night ensured that all went smoothly. We greatly appreciate the support and help given and look forward to working with you again in October for, “Strictly back to School”!!!!
