D7ET Board

Children in Junior Infants will be be given the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine by the HSE (Health Service Executive) to those whose parents have send back consent forms. They will send home a letter nearer the time. The dates are Friday 20 January and Monday 23 January, during the school day, here in our building.

We are pleased to welcome families to take part in this event in our school grounds.  Many cultures celebrate a light-based festival in November and December. Our idea is that each small light contributes to overcoming the darkness. Children have made lanterns in school and we have a battery light inside for each child, which they will carry during the procession and choral performance.

Weather permitting, this event is scheduled for Wednesday 14th December, 18.30 – 19.30.

This celebration of the shortest day of the year is being organised in The Complex, Smithfield, and outdoors there, on Wednesday 21st December 6.30-8.30 pm. There will be warming food and drinks, storytelling and music, seasonal gifts to buy. This is a free event for all ages and under 15s with an adult.

This year’s D7ET Christmas Bazaar will be on Sunday, 11th December 2011, from 12.00 – 2.30 p.m. in the school.
