Scoil Fhionáin Spreads Christmas Message of Giving
Scoil Fhionáin in Kilfinane, County Limerick has been focusing on the message of giving on the run up to Christmas this year
Over the last number of months, Scoil Fhionáin has been working hard to support the most vulnerable over the festive period.
During November, the school took part in the Team Hope Christmas Shoebox Appeal, donating an amazing 170 boxes to children. These boxes were filled with toys, treats, stationary and gifts to bring joy to those less fortunate.
The Team Hope Christmas Shoebox Appeal is an annual campaign where thousands of people across Ireland donate shoeboxes filled with gifts for children affected by poverty in countries in Africa and Eastern Europe.

It is an opportunity to share a little joy and excitement with children who live in circumstances where these can often be in short supply. Scoil Fhionáin are proud to donate such a large number of shoeboxes this year, surpassing last year, and would like to thank all who contributed in any shape or form.
Furthermore, the Sixth Class students of Scoil Fhionáin have created and crafted heartfelt Christmas letters and cards for those in Milford Care Centre and St. Camillus Hospital in Limerick.
The initiative aims to connect generations and bring a touch of warmth and festive cheer to those who may be spending their holidays away from their families. The children poured their creativity and thoughtfulness into each letter, expressing well-wishes, sharing holiday stories, and reminding the residents that they are cherished members of the community.
This Christmas letter-writing project not only showcases the creativity of our Sixth Class but also fosters a sense of connection and understanding within our community.
Speaking about the project, the school said, “We are immensely proud of our students for embracing this initiative with open heads and open hearts. The letters aim to bring smiles to the faces of the elderly residents and create a sense of togetherness during a time that can be a challenging time for some.”
