Festive fun at Loreto, Letterkenny as students host Christmas trade fair

Loreto Secondary School in Letterkenny hosted their annual Christmas trade fair this week.

There were hampers, raffles, baked goods, handmade sustainable Christmas decorations and gifts galore for sale.

The Christmas atmosphere was electric with elves and Christmas jumpers to be seen in every corner of the fair. Christmas music was blasting throughout the day, lifting the spirits of those in attendance.

Every student in Loreto was in attendance at Tuesday's event, as well as 6th class students from Scoil Colmcille National School, Scoil Mhuire gan Smál and Gaelscoil Adhamháin.

This amazing event was organised by Loreto's outstanding Christmas Trade Fair committee which is completely run by eight of the  Transition Year students.

Loreto students dressed for the occasion!

The public were welcomed between the hours of 9am and 2pm and there was an amazing turnout from them.

Many thanks to all the students involved in the event, from 2nd year, Transition Year  photographers who captured this day to be saved for the future and to the 5th year LCA students who painted faces and spread Christmas cheer.

The committee would also like to thank Ms. Mairead Boyle, the TY coordinator and to the fantastic judges.
