On Tuesday, Ms Brophy announced that she had been nominated to do the Ice Bucket Challenge. She decided to do the challenge in school and allow three lucky boys to throw the ice water buckets over her. To be in with a chance, the boys had to bring in €1 to go towards MND Ireland. A grand total of  €143.25 was raised. 

Friday morning came and the whole school, dressed in Tipperary colours, gathered in the yard. Three names were drawn from the hat and the lucky boys stepped forward to collect the buckets of icy water. Before the water was poured, Ms Brophy named her nominations; Peader O Dwyer, Principal of St. Mary’s Convent Primary, Mary Slattery Principal of St Mary’s Junior Boy’s NS and Inez Uí Éanáin Príomhoide Gaelscoil Aonach Urmhumhan. 

Take a look at the video below to see what happened next. Well done Ms Brophy!
