Bishop Kelly to raise Green Flag on May 29th.

St. Joseph's Secondary School has been awarded the major environmental award of the Green Flag by An Taisce in conjunction with Mayo County Council. It will be raised by the school Trustee, Bishop Brendan Kelly on Thursday, May 29th after 11am Mass. All Parents/Guardians are invited to the Mass in St. Michael's Parish Church, Foxford and afterwards to the raising ceremony in the school. The ceremony will be attended by T.D's, Local Representatives, Community Representatives, Board of Management, Parents Council, school Staff and students. Great credit for the award is due to Mrs. Breege McHale, Green Flag Co-ordinator, her team comprising of Transition Year and 10 Second Year students, staff members Miss Heavey, Mrs. Fielding, Anthony Ruane, Local Community and the whole school community. There is a pathway of 7 steps to be undertaken to the award of a Green Flag, which involve environmental awareness, recycling, the implementation of a substantial environmental plan and application to the County Council/An Taisce. All of the steps were carried out successfully by St. Joseph's. Comhghairdeas le chuile dhuine a bhí bainteach ann. The school is delighted that Bishop Kelly has agreed to celebrate Mass and to raise the flag on May 29th.
