We had a lovely gathering in school to celebrate the retirement of our much loved Mrs. O’ Carroll. Fr. Brendan celebrated mass in thanksgiving for her wonderful service to Sliabh a’ Mhadra over the past 22 years and our choir and musicians added beautifully to the mass. It was lovely to have many of her family and friends present. The celebrations continued on Friday night with a huge gathering in the Hopper Inn.
Mrs. O’ Carroll was a very diligent teacher who always had the best interest of the child at heart. She was particularly interested in Environmental Awareness, which resulted in the school being awarded several Green Flags. She developed a fantastic Library in the school and was constantly devising schemes to support the interested reader and to entice the reluctant reader. Possessing a holistic vision of Education, she endeavoured to develop the whole person whether it was through art, crafts, nature, music or sport.
She was always upbeat and brought great positivity and warmth to our school. We thank her for her wonderful contribution to Sliabh a’ Mhadra and we wish her a long and happy retirement.
