Sixth class children in Ruan School were given a lovely ‘send-off’ before the summer holidays. It began with a mass in Ruan Church, celebrated by Fr. Pat O’Neill, with their parents in attendance. Ms. Ni Chonghaile gave a short talk about the occasion and praised the children, who then returned to school where they painted their hands and left the handprints on the wall, enjoyed an ice cream party and, when they were collected by their parents, they were given a guard of honour by the children from all the other classes. The children in sixth class were Leah O’Brien, Sophie Haugh, Sarah Curtis, Lily-Mae Lyons, Ava Casey, Aaron Twomey, Dara Masterson, Jack Lordan, Teige Moloney, Aodain O’Lachtain, Sam Kelly and Jack O’Halloran.
