Green is Good, Green is Cool, Green is the Motto of our School! Recent Achievements by Dangan Green School Committee... School Year 2015-2016 Ms.Aileen Heffernan led the work on the theme of 'Transport'. A lot of research was done initially, mapping out where the children attending Dangan lived, and how usually they got to school. Discussions on how to reduce the amount of car journeys led to an epic day in May where over 90% of the children arrived in Dangan on bikes or by walking! The commitment of pupils, parents, and teachers was super, and Dangan achieved another Green Flag. School Year 2014-2015 Under the guidance of Mr. David Brennan, the committee members, from all classes, worked on the 'Water Theme'. The Green Flag Committee reminded us that: Water is an important resource and a sufficient supply of clean water is essential to the health of people and the environment. Although it may appear to be plentiful, but even in parts of Ireland, it is an increasingly scarce resource. Here are some of the Activities of this very active group: 1. Dangan's Water Walk 2. Phone Collection for a Defibrillator 3. Recycling in the Classroom-bring home what you bring in. 4. Spring Clean Clothes Drive: raising funds for the school gardens and other resources. 5. Participating in the 'An Taisce Big Clean Up' in April/May. |
