Smoke Free Leitrim 


From Sixth Class
This is our third year to be involved in the Smoke-Free Leitrim Project.  The project is organised by the Health Education section of the North Western Health Board.  Starting when we were in fourth class in 1997, the project will continue until we are in second year,  post-primary.
We learn about the dangers and apparent attractions of cigarette smoking.  We do lots of project work with our teacher Miss Gallagher.  We did a big project on our area using our class computer.  It was published in full colour in the Leitrim Observer!
In March 1999 three of our class were winners in the "Design a Poster Competition".   Leeann Gallagher, Claire Gibbons and Áine McGowan met with Mary McAleese, President of Ireland, and were presented with certificates and a plaque for the school.
