April 2, 1980 Easter Now winter’s tyranny is done And spent the boreal blast; The glory of the risen sun Shines on the world at last. T! > snowdrop rears its tiny head ~eside the garden wall, The welcome bird whose breast is red Pipes its heraldic call. Supernal Lord of life and hope! Vouchsave Thy holy light. Send forth Thy radiance where grope The doubtful shades of night. Pour forth the wonder of Thy rays And for the sake of earth Relume the deep of darkened ways By the wonder of rebirth; That we, in faith so sorely tried, May win the grace and know The faultlessness of Him who died Two thousand years ago. —Chester Wittell Vaccines needed for Kindergarten Kindergarten registration is rapidly approaching, and parents should note that this year mumps is one of the required vaccines for school entry. The total list of required vaccines is: 3 doses of DTP (diptheria, tetanus, pertussis) 3 doses of trivalent oral polio 1 dose of rubeola (regular -measles) 1 dose of rubella (German measles) 1 dose of mumps (effect- ive for entry after August 1, 1980). Failure to have all of the required immunizations will prevent a child from enter- ing kindergarten or first grade. If you have any questions regarding your child’s im- munizations, please contact your school nurse or local health department. Kids throughout the Donegal School system are taking home free books, thanks to a federal government program and their local parent-teacher groups. Under the RIF [Reading Is Fundamental] program, the USA is putting up three dollars for every one dollar local parents’ groups raise toward free books for the children. A thousand dollars have been raised locally, which gives the RIF program a grand total of 4000 dollars. The money will be three free books for 1363 kids.
