Over many years in Scoil Ursula we have had the good fortune to have Marian Moore as the Chairperson on our Board of Management. Unfortunately Marian's son Marcus has been suffering for many years with leukemia. A Fund has been set up in order to pay for specialised treatment which is a Test Drug that is being tested by 48 hospitals world wide. The nearest one to Sligo is the Royal Free London under the care of Dr. Adelle Fielding, Consultant Haemotologist. It is an antibody and so far there is over 70% remission of over 17 months. Marcus does meet the criteria in that there must be over 10% blasts in the bone marrow and is a relapse. A bank account has been set up at Ulster Bank. The sort code is: 98/62/60 ad the account number is:00131966. The account is called the Marcus Moore Treatment Fund if anybody wishes to make a donation. A Golf Classic is being organised for Saturday,19th August by the Residents Association and booking can be made at Sligo Golf Club and Strandhill Golf Club via Patsy Gallagher and Martin Campion and John McHugh. If anyone is interested please get in contact with the clubs involved. St John's GAA Club Carraroe have also organised an Adult Disco in Sligo Park Hotel on Saturday 14th July, 2012. Tickets are being printed this week and although we are unsure of the prices as yet we're sure it'll be widely supported for such a worthy cause. If you can at all please do spread the word with your own family and friends. We hope that you might be able to help out Marcus and his family in their fundraising efforts. The prayers and good wishes of the whole school community are with them all especially now. What an amazing, exciting day today was! Mission Day was a huge success again this year with the pupils of our school raising over €1,000 in one hour for charitable causes! Many many thanks to everyone involved. A lot of hard work goes into making the day a great one and it really showed today! Check out our Facebook Event Scoil Ursula has truly joined the digital age and we are now live on Facebook and Twitter. We hope this will open up even more lines of communication with the parents, friends and past pupils of our school including the local community. You can follow us on Twitter @ScoilUrsulaNS and on Facebook by liking (and sharing) our page. We'll be posting news and events to these sites as well as to our school website so make sure to follow, get in touch and by all means...spread the word! A wonderful Multi-Cultural event took place in the school over two days this week. Pupils with family origins in many countries including Germany, India, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Pakistan, Phillipines, Poland, Portugal & Spain displayed projects in the halla. All the pupils got a chance to sample traditional dishes as well as learning about the culture, language, dress and heritage of these lands. A big thank you to Mrs Mc Moreland for co-ordinating this most enjoyable and informative event. See slide show below: Today we remember Blathnaid Foley, past pupil of our school. She holds a special place in our hearts here in Scoil Ursula and since the Blathnaid Foley Trust was set up we have tried to raise a little money for this worthy cause by having our Annual Lilac Day. This was Blathnaid's favourite colour too. Thanks to the fabulous support of our Parents, Pupils & Staff Members, Scoil Ursula will present a cheque for €400 to Blathnaid's parents Fiona & John. We are also grateful to recently retired teacher, Grace Whelan and her husband, Mike, who donated scones for the staff fundraiser on Lilac Day.
