MS. Readathon 2021
PLEASE PLEASE SUPPORT AND ENGAGE!!
For the next two weeks, commencing Monday 22nd November, the whole school will participate in the MS Readathon 2021 campaign. We encourage all pupils to do extra reading at home for their leisure.
Durrow N.S will make a donation, on behalf of all the children in our school, to this very worthy cause.
We ask all pupils to engage in lots of reading over the next two weeks.
A little more information about MS Readathon Ireland.
There is nothing better in this world than reading a book.
Books feed our imaginations and fuel our minds and in the 34 years since we launched the MS Readathon we have yet to find a teacher who doesn't want to inspire more reading amongst their students.
Each year, the month-long Readathon shines a national spotlight on the wonderful power of reading to illuminate our children's imagination, development and learning. And crucially, it also engages children in a truly noble endeavour: raising vital funds for people facing the daily challenge of life with multiple sclerosis.
Last year alone, children up and down the country raised an amazing €430,000 to help people living with MS in Ireland. Schools like yours are at the heart of making the MS Readathon the campaign it is.
MS Ireland is the only national organisation offering services and support to the MS Community in Ireland. As we approach almost two years of cancelled or postponed fundraising events, our 2021 Readathon is more important than ever.
Our interactive MS Readathon website launched in 2020, which has made taking part as easy as possible and is loved by students, teachers and parents alike. We've added some cool new features for 2021 that we know your students will love.

Huge Response to our Christmas Shoe Box Appeal
Durrow N.S want to sincerely thank all the families who went to huge efforts to prepare their Christmas Shoebox Appeal for 2021. We had an enormous response this year (Take a look at the slideshow below). Each year we take part, the pupils and families in Durrow always come up trumps. Remember, your Christmas shoebox will put a massive smile on one child's face on Christmas morning. Well done everybody. Míle Buíochas from all in Durrow.
