Dear Parents,
We would like to welcome all our pupils back to school. In particular, we welcome our new Junior Infants as they start with us here at Cranny National School. We hope that this will be a great year of fun and learning for all. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their warm welcome to the school.
Kind regards,
Edel McMahon
