On Monday 3rd March our second class girls had a very special visitor - Greta Streimikyte, an Irish Paralympic athlete.
Greta made her International debut for the Irish Para-Athletics team in 2016 at the European Para Athletics Championships in Grosetto where she won a bronze medal in the 1500 metres event, securing a place in the Olympics in Rio 2016. She also won a gold medal in the 2018 European Championships in Berlin.
Hearing about her journey filled us all with motivation, and we couldn’t help but feel empowered by her words. We also had a blast doing drills with her.
Thank you Greta!
