In June 2009 we marked the retirement of Margaret Donohoe, after 33 years service in our school and to the wider community in Mountrath. While this was a joyful occasion it was also tinged with sadness, as we knew Margaret would be greatly missed from our school staff. On a glorious sunny day, Margaret raised our second green flag and later she planted a Bramley apple tree in front of the school. The Parents' Association, Board of Management, staff and pupils made presentations to her.
