Michael Murphy Sports and Leisure has launched a new initiative to celebrate and reward students and schools’ achievements throughout the academic year.

Open to every primary and secondary school across Donegal, the MMS School Stars Award celebrate exemplary achievements and successes from students and schools. Nominations can be for anything school related including academic, artistic, creative and sporting achievements that deserve attention, recognition and celebration.

Pictured with Michael Murphy are Cian and Leah Crawford (St. Mary’s National School, Ramelton), Amy Callaghan and Alan Stephenson (Coláiste Ailigh), Saoirse Callaghan-Herrity (Loreto Convent Letterkenny) and Aoibhinn McGinley (Scoil Mhuire Creeslough). For closing dates and to nominate a student or school visit www.michaelmurphysports.ie/blog/schoolstars.

Each term, one student or school will be rewarded for their achievement or success. The winning student and school will be presented with a training kit to the value of €250 and Donegal captain, Michael Murphy and Glenswilly club player Neil Gallagher will drop off the prize to the winning school.

Commenting on the MMS School Star Awards, Michael Murphy said: “The awards give students and schools a platform to showcase their hard work and dedication throughout each term. For us, it’s about shining a light on an individual or group achievement that may have otherwise gone unnoticed.  We want to support schools across the county and if you think you or your school has done something to deserve recognition, then we’d love to hear from you.”

Parents, teachers, principals or students can nominate their school or fellow students via the website www.michaelmurphysports.ie and can include a brief description (max 250 words) of the achievement or success along with the name and address of school, principal name, contact number and email. Supporting images and materials can also be included.

A full list of closing dates and terms and conditions can be found on www.michaelmurphysports.ie and for any queries contact Michael Murphy Sports and Leisure on 074 91 28268 or email schoolstars@michaelmurphysports.ie.
