We were absolutely thrilled to have our evening Halloween Disco back in action this year after we had to pause the annual highlight due to covid. It is safe to say that the whole school was buzzing with excitement to have it back and the school was fit to burst with all the people who attended!
We got the school into the Halloween spirit with a Spooktacular bake-off, which was judged by our student council. The baked goods were then sold on the night and there wasn’t a crumb of the creative bakes left! Congratulations to everyone who took part and created such amazing treats. Take a look at just some of the creations and see just how spooktacular they were!
We also had a tuck shop filled with treats for the children to buy on the night. We were so grateful to Big Mouth from Ashford Village who supplied us with a giant bag of popcorn and cones for the night! The bake sale and tuck shop had a continuous stream of customers all night. Many thanks to all who supported it and a bigger thank you to all who volunteered their time to help us man the stall.
The Halloween Disco had one of the biggest raffles ever, some might have called it a monster raffle! We had over 20 prizes for kids and adults! Vouchers, gifts, cuddly toys, and everything in between. A massive thank you to everyone who donated prizes and a special thanks to all the businesses who got in touch to donate vouchers - Foundation Health, Ashford Motor Repairs, Kidszone Wicklow, Big Mouth, Spotlight Studios and Choppers Barbers. The raffle was such a huge success that we even ran out of raffle tickets! Thank you to all who supported the raffle in any way!
We couldn’t have a Halloween disco without our nail bar and tattoo parlour! As always, all the children had great fun at these stations and had very glamorous nails and colourful tattoos by the end of the night! A big thank you to our past pupils who came back to help us out on the night with these activities - it is always lovely to have you back!
Our Halloween Disco would be nothing without our very own resident DJ, DJ Dave! Once again Dave had the school bopping from the minute the doors opened and the dance floor was never empty! Thank you to Dave for always being so generous with his time for our disco!
The costumes this year were absolutely frighteningly spectacular! Congratulations to all who got into the spirit, young and less young! It brought such a fantastic atmosphere to the night and added to fun of the disco! It was very difficult to choose a winner for best dressed and we hope you all enjoyed being in the Halloween spirit!
Our Halloween Disco raised a whopping €2600 this year and we are so grateful to everyone who supported the event. This year we put the children in the driving seat with the funds and each class has made a wish list of things they would love to have in the classrooms or in the school in general. All of the proceeds from the disco will go towards fulfilling as much of each class wish list as possible.
