At the Gift-a-Book event in the school library yesterday, students from Ms O’Connor and Ms Conroy’s classes received a copy of “Too Good to be True” by Anne Cleeves to mark World Book Night, which is held each year on April 23rd, the anniversary of Shakespeare’s death. The books were gifted to those displaying great interest and improvement in their reading standards. A big thank you to former teacher/librarian Ms O’Brien for presenting the students with their copies. Well done to all our recipients!
