Well done to all of the children from 3rd to 6th class who took part in the Marathonkids programme this year. 48 pupils -over half the school- participated. The final mile took place on Thursday 30th of November in Santry Stadium.
All of the children participating received a t-shirt and medal to mark their great achievement.
Work started at the weekend on ground works for the long awaited school car park. This work will continue over the coming months and is being undertaken largely by voluntary work.
Our thanks to parents Neil Butterly, Liam Fynes and Paul Rice for giving over their weekend and their machinery to help in removing the clay and debris from the site. Thanks to our Chairperson Joe McKenna for coordinating the works.

On Wednesday 25th of October a delegation of teachers from Portugal visited the school. They were accompanied by Lydia McCarthy part of Trocaire's Development Education team. The visit was part of the Global Schools project -coordinated by the EU, DCU and Trocaire-that Principal Johnny Tyndall has taken part in over the last two years.
The teachers all come from Viana do Castelo in the north of Portugal. Mr Tyndall had visited their schools in March of this year. The project was to allow shared learning in Global Development Education between Ireland and Portugal.
The teachers visited all of the classrooms and got an overview of how a small country school functions. Mr Tyndall presented them with a gift on behalf of all at Scoil Moibhi.
Well done to all the parents and pupils who helped make the Parent's Association Halloween Ball such a success. The total amount raised was a fantastic €943.15. Photos will follow.
Halloween mid-term is upon us and we had some very strange pupils arrive at school this morning. All at Scoil Moibhi Milverton wish you a very happy Halloween.
