Once again there are school calenders available in each classroom. Snap Printing have kindly sponsored these calenders for many years now and we are all very grateful to them for their continuing support of our school. The calenders incudes a photograaph of each class and also a list of school closures for 2012.
The cost of the calendar is 5 euro and funds raised will help towards the purchase of teaching resources for use in our school.

Christmas Greetings
On behalf of all the Children and Staff of Killeeneen National School we wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Helping the Simon Community
On the 15th of December, 5th and 6th classes went to Kilcolgan Nursing Home and The Village Nursing Home. We sang carols and did some Irish Dancing for the residents. We chatted to them afterwards and gave them some biscuits as a Christmas present. Everybody really enjoyed the visit and the staff of both Nusing Homes gave us lots of sweets and a drink. Now on the 20th of December, 6th class will be going carol singing to the Eyre Square Shopping Centre to collect for the Simon Community in Galway. Simon works for the homeless in Galway and throughout Ireland. So if you are in town please drop in and say hello to us.
The Alan Kerins Project
The Alan Kerins Projects has launched a new progamme called Kidz 2 Kidz, where Irish children are offered a very real opportunity to reach out and help children in Zambia. As a school we would like to support the programme. We have some of their gift cards available at 5 or 10 euro. A 5 euro card would provide a Christmas dinner for a family of 6, while 10 euro could pay school fees for a child in Zambia for the whole year. We are inviting the children to contribute to this direct way of helping other children and to use these cards for family members at Christmas.
