Here in St Joseph’s we take great pride in being a very active school and last week we raised our latest Active Flag. We celebrated recent active achievements at our Active School assembly with our Chairperson Geraldine Conlon presenting medals to our Gaelic football team. Mayor of Drogheda, Eileen Tulley was our special guest for this wonderful occasion and was assisted by her granddaughter in raising the new flag. Well done to our hardworking Active School Committee and Mr Carberry
