Principals Message
It's only 17 days until our FAVORITE DAY! March 17th is BallyPat's Day at Ballyshannon and we treat it like a national holiday.
We are arranging service trips for all of our 8th graders. We're traveling to Erpenbeck Elementary, Burlington Elementary, Stephens Elementary, Boone Springs, Master Provisions, and the Florence Freedom to give service with a smile, Bally style.
We're running a Dodgeball tournament during the day to narrow the field to one 6th, one 7th, one 8th, and one staff team to play in front of the entire school during a pep rally.
There will be awards for the most spirited/best dressed Shamrocks.
Dreamy Whip Ice Cream Truck will be on site selling green vanilla cones for $2 each.
Brace yourselves. This day only comes once a year.
