Confirmation Day
On Friday 9th of March our confirmation day arrived! Everyone got out of bed so early to prepare for their special day, and it was totally worth it. We all had an amazing time. Niamh McManus said a Prayer of The Faithful with Gerard Ryan, and also sang with John McGreehan. Katie O’Rourke read the Second Reading, and Michael Murphy did the Offertory. Emma Malone was also there. We were so thankful for the appearance of Archbishop Eamon at our Confirmation Mass; he made our mass very special. To celebrate, we all held our own parties at various venues, and we had the most awesome time! Thanks to Miss. McParland for helping us prepare, Father Tommy and Father Conlon, the servers, our parents, and once again Archbishop Eamon for all their help to make our day special for everyone.
Dan’s Amazing Story!
In April, the Omeath Historical Society held a story competition. They were looking for old family stories or legends that had been passed down through the family tree. Dan Ferguson wrote a fantastic story about his grandfather saving a young boy from drowning. Dan also brought in the newspaper article about it, that was written shortly after the event. The judges described it as an interesting story, and that his grandfather was very humble and courageous. Of course he won first place, and deservedly so. He was the only one in our area to win a prize. Congrats Dan!

- The excess water is used to water all of our plant.s
- We have put 1 litre bottles in the cisterns of all the toilets to save 1 litre of water every flush.

Nativity
On the 12th of December, we had our Nativity Showcase in the church. 4th, 5th & 6th class voiced whilst 1st, 2nd & 3rd class acted. Our Junior and Senior Infants joined in to do the actions for Away in a Manger, and everyone had such a great time! It was a very enjoyable night for the parents and other members of the parish, and a great way to get us into the festive season.
Christmas Shoeboxes
This term, as usual, we sent out shoe boxes full of stuff like clothes, toys, sanitary, cleansing items etc. This year we shipped them out to families in Romania. We donated an outstanding amount of shoe boxes – over 50! We would like to thank all the parents and children for putting together all the amazing boxes and a special thanks to Mrs Theresa Flynn for organizing and sending the boxes all that way.
Coding Workshop
This term 4th, 5th and 6th class visited St. Vincent’s Secondary School in Dundalk for a coding workshop! It was really fun and all the classes enjoyed the experience. It really tested our intelligence and we all want to thanks St. Vincent’s for giving us the opportunity. We hope to see you again for another visit soon!
Cumann na mBunscol Quiz
The Cumann na mBunscol quiz came and went, and this year’s team had much success. On the team was Katie O’Rourke, John McGreehan, Niamh McManus, Aoife McGee and Fionn O’Rielly. After succeeding in the first round, we travelled to Knockbridge where we came first in our category and second overall. Well done Mullaghbuoy, small schools champions of Louth!
Our Trip To Swan Lake
We were all excited to see ‘Swan Lake’, especially since our own pupil from Mullaghbuoy, Kate O’Neill, would be taking part! So we arrived in Belfast at the Grand Opera Theatre to see ‘Swan Lake’, and we could not wait! While we waited for the play we watched the theatre fill up. The dancing was very elegant and emotional, you could feel what the dancers felt. It was an amazing experience for all the school, and we would like to thank the Grand Opera Theatre for hosting this magnificent event, and all the dancers that took part.
Credit Union Art Competition
This year’s theme for the Credit Union Art Competition was ‘Set your Imagination Free’, and of course all of Mullaghbuoy’s students did just that. In the 11-13 category, we had Niamh McManus in first place, Emma Malone in second and Aoife McGee in third. In the 8-10 category, we had Kate O’Neill in first, followed by Daniel Paige and Saidbh Richardson in second and third. Lastly, in the -7 group, we had Charlie O’Neill in third, Holly McCann in second and Ryan Ferguson, who also came second overall in all the parish in his category. Well done Ryan!!
Thanks for reading the Christmas edition of The Mullaghbuoy NS Website Newsletter! We wish you and all your family a very merry Christmas, and a very healthy and happy new year!
