Over 10,000 Lee Strand hardback homework journals are being distributed to national school pupils in Kerry and West Limerick once again.

Lee Strand was delighted to welcome Norma Foley, Minister for Education, to officially launch the 2020 Lee Strand Homework Journal at the Lee Strand milk plant in Ballymullen, Tralee.

The homework journals are valued at €4.50 each and are printed in full colour with a hardback cover for extra durability in pupils’ school bags. They are filled with lots of interesting and educational material and are printed in English and Irish with over 140 pages. The homework journal includes: a weekly diary where pupils can record their homework each day; a timetable to record classes and activities; a tables book featuring addition, subtraction, multiplication, division; healthy eating tips; Irish culture and heritage; spelling and grammar; teacher and parent note forms, as well as homework tips for pupils and parents. The homework journal also includes lots of Mighty Mikey Milk activities and after school recipes including the popular Lee Strand smoothie and cookie recipe.

“Lee Strand is delighted to offer homework journals to national school pupils in Kerry and West Limerick over the past nine years," Gearoid Linnane, CEO, stated.

"To celebrate Lee Strand’s one hundredth year the homework journal has a special one hundredth year theme for pupils and teachers to enjoy in the classroom. Lee Strand takes great pride in supporting the local community and what better way to support our community than by supporting our local schools with over 10,000 complimentary homework journals. The homework journals are one less expense for parents to incur when their children return to school. We would like to wish pupils, teachers and parents a safe return to school and wish everyone the very best in the academic year ahead.”
