Last Thursday, we held our first family quiz night for our P7 families in the Parish Centre. The hall was completely packed and all families added to a lovely, warm atmosphere.
Twenty five wonderful families fought it out over 105 questions. There was questions designed for all family members from age 4 to 94! Every member of every team played their part at some stage during the evening.
The P7 pupils showed a great commitment to and enthusiasm for quizzing throughout the year as they participated in the Credit Union Schools Quiz, Road Safe NI Quiz and the Cumann na mbunscol Quiz. Well done boys and girls! Please continue building, sharing, and testing your knowledge through quizzing in the future.
It was a very competitive quiz with over 20 tables achieving 80 marks or more. Answers ranged from incredibly well thought-out to absolutely hilarious! Well done to our winners, the McGirr family, who have been St. Ronan’s stalwarts for generations now!
Such events are not possible without the help of so many magnificent individuals and for that we say thank you to:
- Sean Markey and Brian McCabe for their crowd entertainment and for announcing the questions
- Mr. Grew, Ms. McDermott, and Ms. Elliott for their quick marking!
- Mr. Hanna for his scorekeeping and updates throughout
- Ms. Crawford, Ms. Woods, and Mrs. Teague for ensuring all answer sheets were accounted for and for ensuring everyone was well fed and watered!
- Our PTFA for providing food, balloons, and for sorting some lovely raffle prizes
- Carol-Ann for making up some lovely refreshments
- Encirc, The Silver Dollar, Goan’s, Cherry Tree, Delta, Lisnaskea Enterprise Centre (Maria McKenna), and Durnien’s Fruit and Veg for their very generous donations
