The girls basketball team, accompanied by their coaches Ms. Casey and Ms. Kiely, travelled to Scoil Uí Riada, Kilcock, for the Cumann na mBunscol blitz on Thursday (April 27th).

They played 4 matches in the group stage. They narrowly lost to Castledermot, followed by a win against Scoil na Naomh Uilig, Newbridge. They lost to hosts Scoil Uí Riada and drew facing Ardclough. Then followed an apprehensive few moments as points were counted. They were through to the semi-finals!

They faced old rivals Castledermot in what was a very close, tense match. It was all square at full time. Two sets of extra time had to be played to determine who would reach the final. Nerves were shot but Prosperous held their composure to come out on top winning narrowly by one basket in this exciting encounter!

They were up against Scoil Uí Riada in the final. They played very well and held their own for large periods of the match but this experienced team with a number of club players proved too good for Prosperous and were deserving winners.

Prosperous finish the season on a high, receiving silverware and doing their teachers and coaches proud!

The victors displaying their well earned silverware!

The winning team!

Prior to our Easter Holidays, all the children from Junior Infants to Sixth Class took part in the national Spring Clean day. We decided to give a spring clean to our school grounds and our local village, Prosperous. Below are some photos of the enthusiastic children tidying up their local Environment. By the time all the teachers and children were finished, Prosperous was gleaming!
