A magnificent welcome awaited Teacher Mary Hickey of Rathmore on Monday morning when she arrived for work at Presentation N.S., Millstreet following her superb success in Tralee on Friday night when she was selected out of almost thirty beautiful Contestants as the Kerry Rose 2014 in the highly prestigious International Rose of Tralee Competition. We are all so delighted for Mary who would be a totally ideal overall winner in August when the two-night television spectacular takes place – even the official song says “Mary – the Rose of Tralee”! Here we share the marvellous photos of Teacher Joanna O’Connor which allow us to view the Monday morning welcome as well as the actual Friday night event in Tralee where Daithí Ó Sé was the excellent Presenter on the night. The late Teresa Tangney of Main Street, Millstreet and a native of North Kerry who was such a supremely wonderful member of our Teaching Staff in Presentation N.S. until she retired twelve years ago and who has sadly just very recently passed to her Eternal Reward (R.I.P.) would have been so thrilled with this historic occasion when two Kerry Flags and Kerry Balloons adorned the entrance to our school and the “Rose of Tralee” was sung by All with such great enthusiasm for Mary. We now share a selection of Joanna’s much appreciated pictures. Click on the images to enlarge. (S.R.)
We shall feature some further pictures later in the week following our visit to the School on Monday but now we continue to share Joanna’s splendid images.
