St. Gabriel’s N.S. was recently selected as a recipient of the Tesco Community Fund initiative by Tesco Prussia Street, Dublin 7. A huge thank you to all the parents and extended community who chose our school with their blue tokens in-store. Pictured with Principal Marion McLoone are Claudia, Tesco Prussia Street and some pupils from 3rd Class.

Today Mr Smyth’s class paid a visit to Phibsboro Library to meet an author, Erika McGann. Read about their experience below…
Our Trip to Phibsboro Library By Ellie
Today we went to Phibsboro Library. We went to see an author called Erika McGann. She spoke about her books and she read a bit for us. She showed us some covers for her book Broken Spell. The covers were amazing. They were all so good. I couldn’t chose which one was my favourite. She was the winner of the Waverton Good Read Chidlren’s Prize 2014 for the Demon Notebook, the first in her magical series about Grace and her four friends. She gave us copies of the Fairytale Trap. She also gave all of us bookmarks and posters. It was the first time I ever met an author. And on the way back on the bus me and my friends couldn’t stop talking about it! It was a fantastic day!
