As part of the preparations for Grandparents Day, members of the Student's Council went to all classes and asked the children where their grandparents lived. Of course many live in Mullingar town and many more elsewhere in Westmeath or other counties in Ireland, but lots live in different countries around the world. In total, the children in St. Colman's have grandparents in 30 different countries!
All classes in the school learned the song 'What a Wonderful World' and we sang it with the choir at the end of the Grandparents Day service. The Senior Infants gathered on the altar and held up flags of all 30 countries. Now the flags, along with the words 'What a Wonderful World', are on display in the school hall.
