Yesterday marked the end of an era for us here in St. Declan's as we said goodbye to Marcella after 25 years as our school secretary.
Just after lunchtime, we all gathered in the GP area for a presentation to Marcella by our principal, Mrs. Walsh. Words cannot fully describe the contribution Marcella has made to our school community; she has gone above and beyond in her role at all times, keeping us all on our toes and ensuring every roll call was complete and accurate! A tight ship run extremely well. The office can be a stressful place with phones ringing, students knocking, and staff dropping in with admin issues, but Marcella always took it all in her stride.
We wish her all the best in her retirement. We will miss her very much, as will her colleagues in the office, but we are sure she will pop in to see us 😊
