PUBLISH A POEM AWARDS!


Our wonderful poets from 3rd and 4th class were honoured in an awards ceremony in the Garage Theatre Monaghan on Tuesday 30th May 2017.
Congratulations to Brandon Brady, Ned Bevis, Conor Carlin Roche, Erin Manning, Saoirse Shanley and Summer Small whose poems have been published in a poetry book titled " The Drumlins Speak in Verse".

This is an anthology of children's poetry compiled by the Publish a Poem competition co-ordinators in conjunction with Monaghan Education Centre and sponsored by the Rotary Club Monaghan.
The poetry project began last November with some schools from Monaghan and Cavan partaking.  Class teachers explored various poetry genres such as Haiku, Cinquain, Acrostic and Limericks with their classes.  Following a class poetry workshop children's poetry was brought to Monaghan Education Centre and assessed.

Congratulations also to Aine O Reilly, Craig Corrigan and Aidan O Reilly for winning Highly Commended prizes for their poetry.
All children received medals and certificates for their work and those whose poems were published received a free copy of the book.
