Friday 10th June this year, Blessington No 1 School hosted the Children’s Festival. This is an annual event where 4 local schools come together for the West Glendalough Children’s Choral Festival.

There was a beautiful Church Service and afterwards lots of treats in the GAA pitch before the races. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great but that didn’t dampen spirits. Athy school won the cups for the girls and boys’ Championships and Blessington school won the overall cup. We had some winners too:

  • Senior class Relay team (Willie, Jack and Claudia) won 2nd place.
  • Three legged race (Owen and Willie) won 1st place.
  • Fifth class race (Claudia) 1st place.
  • Girls’ Championship (Claudia) 2nd place.
  • Sack race (Ben) 3rd place.
  • 3rd class race (Leah) 1st place.
  • 3rd class race (Aran) 3rd place.
  • 1st class race (Oren) 3rd. place.
  • Junior Infants race (Reece) 1st place.

Well done to all!! Next year Jonathan Swift N.S., Dunlavin will be hosting it on the 9th of June.
