We are pleased to launch a new school cup today in memory of John Joe Toner, on the day that would have been his 13th birthday. It is still hard to believe that he is sadly no longer with us...
During his time in St Malachy's Primary School, John Joe was a very hard working pupil who always showed respect for others. He possessed all the attributes of a excellent pupil: He was mannerly, respectful, caring and kind. He always gave his best in all areas of school life.
One of his greatest achievements in school was winning the Fr. Roger's Cup, which is awarded to those pupils who have made an outstanding contribution to school life. The day he was announced as the winner, he was overjoyed.
We sincerely hope that the John Joe Toner Memorial Cup will bring the same joy to all those children who receive it from here on. A pupil will be chosen at the end of each month to recognise outstanding effort and good character in school.
We look forward to making our first presentation of the cup before the Christmas holidays. We know that John Joe would be so proud to be remembered in this way, and through this award, he will continue to bring joy to the lives of many children and their families in the years to come.
