The school wish to thank our Boston friends for coming to visit Skibbereen Community School. We wish them the very best and look forward to seeing them again in the future.
Thank you to Mr. Ryan Beatty, Ms. Kellie Bell and Ms. Jenn Wade Baker for accompanying the students and for their wonderful company and professionalism.
This exchange had been a huge success and we wish to thank all our host families for accommodating our American students. The trip was a massive success and only made possible by a community effort both here in Skibbereen and in Boston.
