Meskel was celebrated in Sandford School

Meskel Eve, better known as Demera, was celebrated at Sandford mainly by Primary staff and students on Friday September 27, 2008 afternoon. The students of Sandford have participated in this Meskel celebration for many years and as a result it has become one of the school’s traditions.  As usual, this year’s Meskel has been celebrated very warmly and colourfully. All primary students, from year one to year six, have taken part in preparation and participation for the event. The school music band lead the students singing “Eyoha abebaye….” which is the seasonal song, followed by the girls waving daisy flowers and the boys holding “chibo” (sticks) for the bonfire. They all proceeded to the Demera place where the bonfire was awaiting.

While the Demera was burning, the students danced and cheered with their friends. Many parents also attended and enjoyed the Demera, dancing with the children.

Saying Goodbye is not easy

Retirement is different thing to different people. For those in their 20’s it is a distant dream. For those in their 30’s and 40’s it is a minor concern. For those 50’s and beyond, it is a reality that must be dealt with. No matter what your age is you should start to prepare for your retirement and the sooner the better. Retirement is a privilege for those who get it.

Our retired employees have done a lot for the existence of the school and we would like to thank them and their families for their contribution and hard work and they are welcome for rendering any help that they could.
