Innovative Fundraiser By Rush School A extremely successful and innovative fundraising drive took place in Rush National School recently. The school participated in the ‘Cash for Clobber’ programme, holding an annual clothes collection on the 3rd Thursday in May as part of their Green Schools initiative. The clothes are donated by the public and packed into bags for collection by ‘Cash for Clobber,’ who then recycle these clothes through Cookstown Textile Recyclers. They supply a large amount to Ms.Quin’s Charity shops, which are then sold to raise money for the National Council for the Blind in Ireland (NCBI). For every bag collected, ‘Cash for Clobber’ donates €1 to the school. This year over 1000 bags were collected. Rush National School, in fact, holds the record to the highest amount of bags collected in the nationwide ‘Cash for Clobber’ Pic: JR programme.

Swords School Marks 10th Anniversary The Old Borough National School in Swords marked its 10th Anniversary with a difference as the entire school got involved in building a mozaic. This mozaic, which is composed entirely of glass and mirrors, is a map of the centre of Swords. Renowned Irish glass artist, Deirdre Rogers was on hand to help and directed the children in the project. There was great excitement as the children got to work on the mozaic. Speaking to the County Leader, principal, Ann Murray Woods, said the project generated great excitement from everyone involved. “It’s a fantastic project. We’re not only marking the 10th Anniversary, we’re also marking the year of the craft as well. It’s the first time anything like this has been done in the area, so all the children are very excited to be involved. We can’t wait to see what the mozaic will look like once its finished.” The project, which started last Tuesday, will be finished in the coming weeks and unveiled in the last week of June.
