​Gaelscoil Dhroichead na Banndan would like to support our local branch of St Vincent De Paul again this Christmas. Essential items needed are non-perishable foods, such as canned goods and basic household supplies e.g tea, coffee, sugar, beans, peas, pasta, soups, sauces, etc. We would like if each child could bring in one item for this worthy charity.  A box will be placed under the Christmas Tree in the school from December 1st - December 12th.
We would like to thank each of you in advance for your support in helping us help our local community.
