Christmas jumper day at seven schools
The festive spirit was strong in several local schools as they donned their Christmas jumpers for charity.
The Student Council at St Brigid's Killarney organised a Christmas Jumper Day in the school to raise funds for the Kerry Hospice and the Palliative Care Unit in University Hospital Kerry.
St Brigid's is working with six other Killarney schools in this very worthy fundraiser and all schools will pool their donations together.
“Kerry Hospice provides an invaluable service to the people of Kerry and their families. It costs €10,000 a week to run. We are delighted in St. Brigid's to join forces with other schools in our community, get into the festive spirit and raise money for this fantastic local cause,” said a school spokesperson.
The fundraiser was all the more special at St Brendan’s College. Staff and students there remembered the school’s accountant, Clare Quinlivan, who passed away four months ago.
“This fundraiser was, in our case, in memory of a very much loved and sorely missed member of the St Brendan’s school community,” said Elaine Moynihan, “This is the third year schools across Killarney have joined forces for a common cause at Christmas and this year we were thrilled to get St Oliver’s National School on board too.”
