Happy 1st Day of School from Saint Brigid of Kildare!
In August of 1996, the doors of Saint Brigid of Kildare School opened to the strains of bagpipe music as the children entered their new school for the first time. 18 years later, the tradition continues. This morning, students were again greeted upon arrival by a bagpiper to welcome them on their first day and wish them luck for the new school year!
