We had a very informative and enjoyable time for World Autism Awareness Day on April 2nd 2025.  Both Ms. Ryan and Katie gave, both students and teachers a fantastic insight into Autism.  We also had some short clips about Autism and an episode of Fancy Nancy that addresses the topic of Autism.  We also enjoyed some yummy snacks too! Well done to Ms. Ryan and Katie for their great efforts!

We celebrated Lots of Socks Day in great style on Friday 21st March 2025 in Glenmore N.S.  There was an amazing display of socks worn to raise funds for Down Syndrome Ireland.  As a whole school we watched two episodes of Dizzy Deliveries, which were carefully chosen for us by Denis and Jack.  There were great laughs had and everyone enjoyed the mid-episode snack too! Here is a just a sample of the fantastic art work completed during the week to help raise awareness of Down Syndrome.  

We had a wonderful display of music, song and dance for Lá Ghlas on 13 March 2025.  Each class from juniors to 6th class, performed as a group.  We also had some fantastic individual performances from Annaleigh, Rachel, Leah, Sophie and Étaín.  We ended with a whole school version of Léimigí Casaigí!

On 28th February 2025, we held a No Uniform Day to raise funds for Charlie Upton, a past pupil of the school.  Charlie has excelled over the years at angling and has qualified to represent Ireland in the Youth Angling Championships in Spain, in August 2025.  From everyone in Glenmore N.S. we wish Charlie every success at the championships and we are delighted for him.  Best of Luck Charlie!

Here is a word of thanks from Charlie and a summary of his achievements to date…

“Thank you for the non uniform day, the funds raised will go towards the gear I need to represent Ireland in Spain, Charlie “
