It’s that time of year again - Powerstown ETNS will host our HB Ice Cream Fun day in aide of Down Syndrome Ireland! On June 1st, each class will be getting their own delicious ice-cream to enjoy! We are asking all the boys and girls to donate €2 for this brilliant cause, Down Syndrome Ireland. Down Syndrome Ireland is an organisation that is working to provide an Irish society where people with Down Syndrome have the same basic human rights to healthcare, education, employment opportunities and decision making as all other citizens. Please support this great cause! It's that time of year again when we celebrate the wonderful cultural diversity of our school community. The children are all hard at work researching and exploring countries and cultures around the world. So we are all very excited to invite you along to see their work on Thursday 24th May!
