Scoil Mhuire Kilvemnon

In 2005 we received great news that Marie had won the Tipperary section of the Spar kids healthy eating competition.

Marie had designed her very own healthy lunch that had impressed the judges so much!
She received a prize from Spar in Carrick-on-Suir who came to the school to present her with her award.
Marie also travelled to Dublin to receive an award.

Congratulations Marie!
