During March and April, children worked so hard at home for parents doing school work, gardening and doing exercise. Here is a slideshow of Mr O'Connell telling us all the news so far that we were emailed about. Thanks to everyone who contributed news.

For Down Syndrome Awareness day, we asked our children to show their socks and they sent in photos of some funny and odd socks in support of the day.

We at Blennerville N.S. love to teach our students about the importance and beauty of inclusion and awareness for all . We will also welcome a student who has Down Syndrome into our school community in Junior infants in September.

Our children dressed up for St. Patrick's Day and send photos of themselves wearing green to the school email. Here is the note Mr O'Connell put on Facebook the following day:

"In the uncertainty we are seeing unfold , yesterday’s video of our pupils celebrating St Patrick’s Day filled me with pride.
As parades were cancelled, I asked that our school community showed us a St Patrick’s Day with a difference. Thanks to all parents who submitted photos and to our wonderful children & staff who dressed up . Thanks to Ms Brassil and parent Nora Corridon for coordinating and producing the fantastic video.
‘Ní neart go cur le chéile ‘- our school motto - there is no strength without unity . We certainly are united and we will get through this together. I must say I am extremely proud to be a part of this school community, stay strong and stay positive everybody .
Mr O Connell."
