Teachers going to ‘Hell and Back’ for pupils CBS Primary School Staff taking on mammoth challenge to raise money for all weather playground By Tamara O’Connell THE staff and parents of CBS Primary School in Dundalk are preparing to take on the Hell & Back challenge on June 8 to raise money for their outdoor space. CBS Primary School Principal Eileen Hart told the Dundalk Leader that they have set up a GoFundMe page if anyone would like to donate. “We have a green area but we just can’t use it. It’s boggy. We get to use it for June. It’s a waste of space,” she said.
“We would love a playground and all-weather area to enhance our pupil’s outdoor learning and play experiences.” Eileen added: “These improvements will have a huge impact on our children’s overall well-being.” Hell & Back is designed to push a person’s physical and mental boundaries to the limit. Set in Killruddery Estate, the main hellish event of the year is the annual 13km and 8km summer fest on Saturday, PAULINE’S MAGICAL MILESTONE. Pauline Kelly began working in the June 8. Ballymac Hotel at the age of 17 and last week she celebrated her 50th anniversary working in the popular Dundalk hotel. Full story Page 2. Continued on Page 2
