To
All Parents, From The Parents Council
The Parents Council of Crusheen
National School is in dire need of new members. There are only 4 of
us on the committee and we would like some "New Blood" to
help with fundraising and any other projects we may undertake. Our first
mission is to raise funds for the up and coming Speech & Drama classes
and we hope to be able to cover the entire cost of this, BUT WE NEED
YOUR HELP. The money raised will be used to benefit our kids, so if
you would like to be on the committee (or even just lend your time for
the fundraising events) please phone one of the following:
Bernie O'Brien: 087-2902001 Sharon Slattery: 086-8849168
Clora Mulligan: 087-6524969 Marian Molony: 087-7611490
Thank you, and we look forward to hearing from you.
