Halverstown NS plans Open Day

An Open Day planned for 26 September will officially mark the beginning of the 50th anniversary celebrations for St Joseph's NS in Halverstown.

A mass followed by a blessing of the school's new extension will be a keynote of the day, which will also include a words and photographic display looking back at the five decades since the school opened in November 1959.

A Dinner Dance to end the day will be held at Kilcullen Community Centre.

If you or your children attended the school, and you or they have pictures, schoolbooks, or school reports from the 50 years, maybe you can lend them to the organisers of the celebrations. A booklet incorporating such memorabilia is planned.

Phone 087 9014614 or email HalverstownSchool_50@hotmail.com if you want to get involved.
