This year, Lero were delighted to sponsor a Transition Year group who were starting their own business.  The girls, whose team were called Dreamers Believers, were writing a book aimed at primary school girls - ‘Chloe, the Computer Scientist’.    Beautifully illustrated by Nicole Scanlan, one of their classmates, the story is about a girl who wants to a computer scientist, but all her friends laugh at her.  Her mom, wisely, tells her that ‘you can be whatever you want to be’.   And, of course, Chloe goes on to follow her dream.   The book is for sale in the bookshop in Charleville, Co Cork or by e-mailing info.dreamersbelievers@gmail.com  .Prof Ita Richardson visited the school to meet Dreamers Believers and their teacher, Ann Doherty
