Wonderfully Impressive Awards for Derrinagree N.S.

Derrinagree NS Microsoft Rural Innovation Award.   Sincere congratulations on such a prestigious achievement.  5th & 6th Class took part in a Microbit programming challenge hosted by Microsoft. Their project was called ‘Aqua Alert!’ They programmed their mini computers (mocrobits) to detect when the soil in their vegetable bed was dry & send a ‘WATER ME’ alert to another wearable device. They programmed yet another microbit to detect rain, which would in turn interrupt the previous watering command. This AQUA ALERT! project won them the overall Microsoft Rural Innovation Award at Microsoft Offices in Dublin. They met many interesting people who had interesting & inspiring jobs, such as Game/ Graphic Designers. 
Derrinagree NS Gold Medal Award at Cork School Garden Competition. This award ceremony was held in County Hall on 18th June 2025. Derrinagree represented by Ms. Cathy Walsh, Saoirse O’ Mahony, Clementine O’ Sullivan & Clodagh O’ Sullivan. Also included in the photo are Muintir na Tíre representatives & Lord Mayor.  Well, well done on winning Gold at this important event.

Acknowledgement and First Anniversary of Michael John Horan

Acknowledgement and First Anniversary of Michael John Horan June 29, 2025. 
Lovingly remembered  by all the family on the First Anniversary of his death. We, his sisters and brothers, would like to thank most sincerely all those who sympathised and supported us during this sad time. We offer our heartfelt thanks to his many good friends, kind neighbours, and his associates across the farming community, those who called to our home, brought food and refreshments and offered solace.To those who phoned or text, wrote to us and sent Mass Cards, and shared such nice online messages and memories of Mike, your words brought us great comfort. Many thanks to those who travelled long distances, attended Mike’s removal, funeral Mass and burial, your presence meant so much. We would especially like to thank the Public Health nurses and Home Support Service staff and his GPs Dr Norton and Dr Walsh, for their kindness and support of Mike during his long illness. We are truly grateful. We want to thank the doctors and nurses and care staff in the UHK Dialysis unit, UHK and CUH especially Dr M Mazur. Thanks also to John D and George O’Keeffe, staff of O’Keeffe’s Funeral Directors and gravediggers for all the help they gave the family during this difficult time. They did everything so professionally and with such kindness. Thank you to Fr. Pat, for your support through the days after MIke’s passing and for the beautiful requiem Mass.  Thanks also to the wonderful musicians and singers. As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgment as a token of our deepest gratitude. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for your intentions. 
Mike’s First  Anniversary Mass will be celebrated in Shrone Church on Sat. 28th June 2025 @ 6pm
