The Crimlin N.S Whole School Community united together to fundraise for the new extension of their school.

'Crillaune Caprice Fanciful One', a name that will not be forgotten by the teachers, parents and children of Crimlin National School. This was the name given to the heifer which was used as one of the recent fundraisers towards Crimlin N.S. The much needed funds will go directly towards the new extension and renovations which are well underway at the school.

Thank you to to all those from every part of Mayo and further afield who bought tickets. Thanks to the managers and staff of the cattle marts in Balla, Ballinrobe, Ballina, Headford and Maam Cross.
