Parents' Association Table Quiz

Patrickswell N.S. Parents' Association Fundraising Table Quiz
Thanks to everyone who came to the quiz; the very professional Parents' Association officers who organised the evening; all the businesses and well-wishers who sponsored 'spot' prizes for the raffle - and Christy Murphy (CĂșchulainn Bar) who provided both the venue and the winners' prizes. Corrector and scorekeeper on the night was Ann Ronan - who did an outstanding job, as usual.
A most enjoyable night was had by all: there were plenty of laughs, smart answers, correct answers and 'other' answers during the quiz! And, just as importantly, all money raised will help fund the relaunch of the schoolbook rental scheme in September 2014.
Quiz Winners: Presentation of Prizes
First place: prize collected (on behalf of the team) by Alan Murray
Second place: prize collected (on behalf of the team) by Paul O'Connor
Third place: prize collected (on behalf of the team) by Danielle O'Brien

As a special treat for all their hard work since August 30th, pupils are being brought to the movies (at the Omniplex) on Thursday (December 19th). The movie they will see is the animated adventure/comedy, "Frozen."
Notes: pupils may bring a few suitable treats to eat and drink (they will not be allowed to spend any money at the cinema). School tracksuits OR school uniforms may be worn for this trip. Pupils will be back at school before the regular closing time.
