Simon Community fun run

The Simon Community fun run takes place on Saturday 13 October at 10.00 a.m. in the Phoenix Park and each year we enter a school team of pupils and staff to try to raise money for the homeless. If you would like to be part of our team you can collect a sponsorship form from Mr McClure in A4. We hope that those who did the run last year will do so again but we are looking for new recruits also! It's a good cause and we can raise lots of money with your help!
