Raising of our 8th Green Flag-Global Citizenship & Marine Environment

This morning, we welcomed Ciarán Cuffe in in to St. Brigid's to raise our 8th Green Flag for Global Citizenship & Marine Environment. Ciarán arrived on his bike to our school and was delighted to see all the other bikes at the bike rack. It just shows how many of our pupils walk, cycle and scoot rather than driving. Go St. Brigid's!!

Did You Know??

• Ciarán was elected as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP)
• Ciarán is a member of the Green Party.
  
• He served as minister of State for Horticulture, Sustainable Travel, Planning and Heritage.
  
• He was a TD for the Dún Laoghaire constituency.
  
• He was elected to Dublin City Council for Dublin North Inner City area.

St. Brigid's are so proud to be one of the first schools in Ireland to achieve 8 Green Flags. We have learned so much about the world and how to protect it. We are making a promise that we will continue to work on each of the 8 flags, as we don't want to loose them.
St. Brigid's would like to thank the Green School Committee from 3rd-6th class, the teachers-Ms. Keogh, Ms. Ryan, Ms. Mc Shane & Ms. Hassett for working behind the scenes in the Green School Committee and for all the other teachers and pupils who took part. Without them we would not have the knowledge that we now have.
