Fundraiser for planned outdoor classroom at Dalystown National School

Dalystown National School is planning to create an outdoor classroom in the coming months.

Outdoor learning has become something more and more schools have embraced but Dalystown NS wishes to go one step further and create a sheltered outdoor area where the children can learn while in the healthier environs of the great outdoors.

Outdoor classrooms have proven in other countries to enhance personal and social communication skills, increase physical health and enhance mental health.

Now the school wish to make it norm in Dalystown.

To assist with the process, the parents council are undertaking a fundraiser and are looking for the support from the community.

They have secured a much sought after barbecue just in time for our summer holidays! The Outback Barbecue is sure to be a big hit.

Tickets are available from the school, parents of the school or local shops in the Dalystown, Rochfortbridge and Tyrrellspass areas.

The raffle is due to take place on June 22 in the school.
