The TY students had a sponsored sleepover in the school hall on the night of Wednesday, 23rd November. The sleepover was part of the Stratford College Social Action Week (Mitzvah Day) and all funds raised were donated to Focus Ireland. Not much sleep was had. Ms. Finnegan, Ms. Mahon, Ms. Mulligan and Ms. Donohoe also spent parts of the night in the hall too. Highlights of the night included making a human pyramid and playing Twister. Many thanks to Ms. Gordon who brought in a huge breakfast the next morning with lots of cinnamon buns! (Click on thumbnails to open an enlarged version of image.)
