The Christmas Spirit of Giving was very obvious in Ballyconnell National School again this year. A whopping 101 Team Hope Christmas Shoeboxes were collected by Irene. Thank you the families who took part by sending in Shoeboxes or who donated Christmas Shoeboxes online. Your kindness is very much appreciated. These shoeboxes are often the only gift that a child will receive at Christmas and the joy they bring is incredible.
