Young Scientists at Knockaclarig National School
Two children from Knockaclarig, one from fourth class and one in sixth class, attended the ‘Intel Mini Scientist’ regional final at Intel Shannon on 30th November 30th.
The children, Sienna Wooley and Lolah Dempsey, presented their project ‘The Orange Peel Appeal’ for adjudication.
Their project involved the making of chemical free and eco friendly detergent from orange peel.
The girls and their teacher Kieran Roche were delighted that they qualified to attend the national final of the competition in Kildare in early 2024.

Santa’s Dedicated Post Box
Brosna is definitely on the map this year with a dedicated Santa Post Box in our Post Office.
There’s no chance that your kiddie letters, and long loooooong lists of toys, will go astray. Two questions. First, is the Santa Post Box for kids only? Second, do you think Santa could get John Hamm wrapped and under my tree by December 25th???
Hooley in the Hall – A Reminder !
The Hooley in the Hall for our more mature citizens will be held on December 10th at 2pm.
Roll up for music, sweet treats, and a bit of craic. It promises to be a cracker of an event.
Christmas Gifts – Shop Local
Each year I remind everyone to shop local where possible.
We have shops, creamery co-ops, retailers, beauticians, service providers, hair stylists throughout our parish and neighbouring communities.
Support local, where possible, and keep our local economy thriving. Thank you, you’re the best!
