Congratulations to fifth year student Alannah Lavery from Presentation Secondary Listowel who was recently awarded third prize in the Mary Elmes Holocaust Studies Competition for a poem she wrote in Transition Year entitled “Come Take My Hand”.

In doing so, she mentioned bringing the victims to the light and dancing with them; a beautiful image that highlights to power of truth and justice.
