St. Michael's tops Santa's list for 2011

Santa was a very welcome visitor to our school before the Christmas Holidays. He took time out of his busy schedule to officially open our new soft surface playground and visit all the classes to deliver a gift to each pupil. Many thanks go out to the local Firemen who kindly gave Santa a lift in one of the Fire Engines as the reindeer were too busy getting ready for Christmas. The local press were in attendance to capture Santa's visit and great pictures are in the current editions of the Crossmaglen Examiner and Armagh Down Observer.
