<p style="text-align: justify;">All students and staff bust a gut to get around but first across the line was Aaron Bannon Whelan for the boys and Shannon Whelan for the girls.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Conor Mc Cormack was a much loved student in our school and we run this race every year in his memory. Between staff and students, &euro;1530 was raised for the Irish Heart Foundation. Photos of the race are available in the photo section of this site.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Well done to all who participated and many thanks to Mr Rice and Mr Creegan for organising it !</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Looking forward to next year !</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>The Twittering School !</title><id>http://www.ardscoilrathangan.ie/news/2009/9/28/the-twittering-school.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.ardscoilrathangan.ie/news/2009/9/28/the-twittering-school.html"/><author><name>Damien</name></author><published>2009-09-28T22:12:15Z</published><updated>2009-09-28T22:12:15Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-IE"><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">We are now on Twitter which means (if you have a twitter account) that you can stay up to date on all goings on in school.
