Athlone school Dean Kelly NS was celebrating recently after being chosen as the Midlands and Eastern region winner in the water category of the An Taisce Green Schools competition.

The Green Schools Committee recently attended an event in the Hyatt Centric Hotel in Dublin where they received their trophy and a cheque for €750 for the school. They were also a finalist in the national section of the water category.

The school has also recently been awarded a green flag on the theme of water.

Students in Dean Kelly NS have worked hard as part of their Green Schools participation and among their projects was an extensive litter clean up along the canal in Athlone recently.
