The school cycle has paused in Pallaskenry in a different way than most.
The students and staff of Scoil Mhuire National School had been partaking in a virtual cycle to raise funds for an all-inclusive sensory playground.
They hope to raise €38,000 from their athletic endeavours.
Scoil Mhuire has recently formed a classroom exclusively for children with autism and the playground will hugely benefit these students, as well as those with physical, intellectual and sensory difficulties. The addition of the playground will help these children excel in expressing themselves and help them to develop into their full potential along with their peers.
