Last Monday was March 17th, St. Patrick’s Day. Every year that I have worked at CVCA, I have danced a reel in the cafeteria during the two lunch times. A few years ago, I included CVCA’s assistant headmaster in the fun (he’s a big hit) for part of the dance. This year, I was happy to show off the Ceili Club during the festivities.

I had six members of the Ceili Club dance “The Fairy Reel” in each lunch, then immediately followed them with me and the assistant headmaster doing solo reels. The students did a fantastic job. They managed to dance well in an unfamiliar space that was also crowded. I was tremendously proud of the kids. Several people told me throughout the day how much they enjoyed the show. I’m also hoping that will help pique interest in the club next fall, since I’ll be losing a number of seniors. Nice job, Ceili Club!
