St Mary’s Convent Sr Sec School, Tulsi Nagar here on Friday celebrated Christmas with gaiety. The whole school was drowned in the festive vibes. A colourful programme was conducted on the occasion that began with the Christmas tableau and a prayer service that included the poor and the downtrodden, the sick and the suffering and the old principals and staff and all the benefactors of the school.
The skit that followed highlighted the importance of caring and sharing and taught values like benevolence and sacrifice. Primary and secondary choir groups presented melodious Christmas carols. Different groups of children gave scintillating dance performances on numbers like ‘we wish you a merry Christmas’.The celebration culminated with the Christmas message given by the principal Sr Mary CD. In her message she said as St Marian family all the students should practice the quality of Mother Mary- acceptance of will of God. As the shepherds were guided by the star let our lives be guided by the God. We should give first place to God in our lives and experience peace, joy and love and spread the same all around us.
The school also celebrated Christmas at Nirmala Shishu Bhavan, Nehru Nagar and Sneh Bhavan, Misrod on December 20 along with the orphans and socially ostracized women.
