Yesterday was a special day for Marshalstown NS as it was the day we received our third green flag. This flag was achieved by saving water on a daily basis for the past two years. 68 schools from Carlow, Waterford and Wexford were in attendance at the ceremony and of these schools, 9 were receiving their water flag.

We learned that all of the schools throughout Ireland that worked on their water flag for the last two years helped to save over 380 million litres of water! That same amount of water could be used for 250 million baths, 5.2 million fish bowls or 1.6 billion cups of tea! The figures are just astonishing! We were also told that the schools around the country have helped to make Ireland the number one country in the world for participating in the Green Schools programme. Well done everyone! 🙂

A great day was had by all and a special thank you goes to all of the children and teachers who helped to make the Green Schools programme in Marshalstown such a success. 🙂
