Special Day
Congratulations and best wishes to all the boys and girls from 2nd class in Ballyduff N.S who made their First Holy Communion recently. They all looked beautiful and beamed with excitement. They performed the little jobs they had been allocated brilliantly and I’m sure their parents and families and their teacher Mrs. Brennan are very proud of them. Even though the weather wasn’t very nice it didn’t ruin their enjoyment and I know they will all have wonderful memories to look back on.
Award Winning
Congratulations to the gifted Niamh Kennedy, Stonehouse who picked up the award for Best Bridal Hair at The Great Lengths Ireland Awards Final which was held in Dublin recently. Niamh is a stylist with Willow Hair Boutique, The Glen and I am sure all her colleagues are very proud of her achievement. On behalf of you all I wish Niamh congratulations and continued success in her profession.
