Letters to the Editor....

Dear Editor Further to our conversation I want to thank the people of Kenmare and surrounding districts for the brilliant support that they have given to me in my efforts to raise funds for the Kerry Life Education Children’s Charity over the years. Kerry Life Education visits primary schools in all communities with their Mobile Classroom and Harold the Giraffe, helping young people to make informed healthy choices around a range of issues including personal health, hygiene, diet, exercise and lifestyle, self awareness and self esteem, peer dynamics and bullying and substance and alcohol misuse. They also provide an interlinking follow on service to second level schools to help young people deal with the many challenges that face them as they grow older In the five years that I have made my annual collection on their behalf, I have collected a total of 16,500for this excellent service and this huge amount reflects the amazing support and generosity of local people. So a big thank you to you all, at the age of 80 I can now retire knowing that together we have made a real contribution towards the The budding actors and actresses of Saint John's National School future of our young people. rehearsing for their first play ‘The Christamas Chimes’, which Kathleen Cheeseman involved all children from first to sixth class.

The pupils, parents (past and present) and friends of Black Valley National School held a celebratory party in Brook Lane Hotel for Janice Gaine recently to mark her 15 years of dedicated service, as assistant teacher, in their small two teacher school at the foot of the McGillycuddy Reeks. In 1997 Janice Gaine came to the school to teach art and she filled the school with life and colour. As one past pupil put it, “I will always remember Janice for her caring and compassionate nature. She treated each and every student like they were her own. I'll never forget her and wish her much happiness for the future. She was a wonderful teacher.”

If you have young children at nursery school perhaps you might consider enroling them at Black Valley National School this September in order to try and help the school replenish their Séamus Long and Janice Gaine. numbers.
