Our Green School Visit

Ratheniska

Yesterday, we had a visit from Ann-Marie Kelly, Environment Awareness Officer in Laois County Council. She called in to meet with the Green School committee on behalf of An Taisce, who run the Green School programme. However, she wasn’t expecting to meet Guzzler and Nibbler aswell and got quite a surprise! After a chat about what we had been doing whilst working on the energy theme of the programme and a brief visit to 4th Class, she said she was delighted with the efforts of the committee and the energy awareness amongst the children. She even gave us some pencils made out of recycled money!
