Christmas Cheer in Glenmore N.S.
We all have had a wonderful build up to Christmas 2025. On Wednesday last the really children from Juniors – 2nd class performed their Nativity Play and 4th – 6th performed their Christmas show – ‘The Star Attraction’. Everybody was really impressed by the wonderful singing and acting. The show was followed by the Annual Parents Association Raffle. Huge credit must go the Parents Association and parents for the wonderful prizes including home made hampers, vouchers and Christmas cakes etc. The raffle was an outstanding success.
On Friday we had a special visitor from Lapland who told us all to be good. He promised to make sure he would keep an eye on his big list for the children of Glenmore N.S.

Christmas Shoebox Appeal 2024
Well done to all parents and children who kindly put together their Christmas boxes for the annual shoe box appeal. It is a fantastic initiative that encourages the children not to forget others less well off in other countries at Christmas time. There was a super response from the parents and there was great excitement when the army officers came to collect. Well done to all involved.
