Christmas “Giving Tree” 2017

Last year a new Christmas initiative began at Ennis NS – a “Giving Tree” in aid of St. Vincent de Paul. Pupils and their families were invited to leave non-perishable food items and treats beside the Christmas tree in our school foyer.

There was a tremendous response last year and so a tradition was born. There was a very generous response again this Christmas and a jeep packed to the roof with food left the school grounds on Thursday morning.  Many thanks to Caoimhe, Ciara, Éabha, Ben, Ódhrán, Adam and Darragh for helping to load the food into the jeep. It will be distributed to needy families in the locality by St. Vincent de Paul volunteers in time for Christmas.  Many thanks to all who donated to this worthy cause.
