SAM VISIT!
Dublin football star Bernard Brogan visited the school today with the Sam Maguire Cup in hand. As this was Dublin’s first All-Ireland Victory in 16 years, it caused quite a buzz of excitement in the capital. This meant that D7ET had to wait in line with other schools for a visit, but it was worth it today. The entire building was draped in the navy & sky blue, and the children waited in the yard from 10 am for a chance to meet with Bernard – and Sam.
Padraig’s 5th Class even got a chance to take penalties on Bernard, who isn’t after all, a keeper.
Unfortunately, Dublin’s prowess in sport may contribute to a drop in academic standards, as the Dublin star pronounced today a homework-free day before
he left.
