Closing Ceremony One Book, One Community

The closing ceremony for The Blue Horse took place in O Connell’s Primary School. The ceremony began with pupils from eleven primary schools in the area all gathered in the yard to see the gardai mounted on their horses. The gardai told them about the horses. Not only were the children allowed to ask questions but they also got a chance to rub both horses. Onwards to the hall where the Home School Liaision Officer Ms. Collins brought children from different schools up to speak about the book, presented prizes for the best book review, gave a souvenir poster to every teacher, held a raffle, spoke about the One Book, One Community project and the importance of reading. Everyone was delighted that the author of The Blue Horse, Marita Conlon McKenna was able to return to the closing ceremony. She shared her insights on the book and said that some day she hopes to getting around to writing a sequel to the Blue Horse. A great time was had by all.
