Strictly Ballyroan
The parents association would like to say a huge thanks to all parents, pupils, family, friends and to all of our corporate sponsors and members of the Ballyroan community who supported our “Strictly Ballyroan” fundraising event. To say that this event made a “splash” around the community would be an understatement, and the whole project was a total success, both as an event in its own right, and as a fundraising activity.
Everyone who attended will attest to a wonderful and very professionally run event, and everyone had a great night out. All of the dancers have commented on how well supported they all were on stage, and that the atmosphere in the room was electric. It made all of the considerable time that they gave to practicing etc very worthwhile.
We are still collecting money from the pledges that were made prior to the event, and we have some corporate sponsorship still to come in, but at this stage we are happy to say that we will be close to achieving our fundraising target, which is unreal!
Final figures will be announced at the parent’s Association AGM in September, so if you are curious to find out how much the event raised exactly, please make sure that you come along. Exact date and time will be published after the school holidays.
Congratulations to Emer Flood & Barry Redmond who were winners on the night – they performed “Dirty Dancing”, and were representing 6th class in the girls school. Interestingly, Emer is an aunt of Zach and Louis Kearney, currently in 3rd Class (Ms. Mazzoni’s), so no divided loyalties there…!
Also, well done to Mr. Murphy (5Th Class teacher) and his dance partner Frances Crean, mum of Zach Crean, 6th Class (Mr Canning) , who were winners of the dress rehearsal. Mark & Frances performed “the Tango”, and while Frances danced for 5th Class in BBNS, she also has girls in SNP and is the current chairperson of their PA committee – so there is conflict everywhere!!
Nonetheless, the collaboration between both PA committees was great to see, and hopefully it is something that can be built upon in the future.
Finally, a million thanks again to everyone for their support and participation, and we hope you all have a wonderful summer.
Best regards
Ballyroan Boys PA committee
