Work for Rang Carruth during School Closure
Hello all! I hope this message finds you and your families, safe and well. As we our living through unprecedented times, I think it would be a great idea to document this living history. This Covid-19 outbreak will go down in the history books in years to come and you will be able to tell your own children and grandchildren about it. SO, I want you all to keep a diary of this school closure. Get a small unused notebook and start writing. Just a few lines day, how you are feeling, what is happening in Ireland on that day AND don't forget to include some statistics from around the world. This will be a unique primary source that you have created during this strange time. I will be checking in on your diary's progress regularly, so keep it up. Ms. Fisher
