Mangaluru: Jawaharlal Nehru is popularly known as “Chacha Nehru” has rightly said, “Children are like buds in a garden and should be carefully and lovingly nurtured as they are the future of the nation and the citizens of tomorrow”. In memory of his birthday St Theresa’s School, Bendur, Mangaluru celebrated children’s Day which began with an Eucharistic celebration. It was officiated by Fr Leo Lasrado at St Sebastian’s Church praying for good health and safety of our children.
As a part of the celebration teaching and non-teaching faculty of the school were dressed up in a variety of colorful attire and presented programmes such as informative skits, dances, songs, etc. The students were thrilled and glad to see their teachers perform on stage. The teachers were highly applauded by the young ones and they were overwhelmed. It was a fun-filled day for children.
The main attraction of the day was the celebration of the birthday of our dearest Principal Sr Philomene Saldanha and the students who also celebrate their birthday on 14th November. The celebration concluded by the distribution of cake and ice-cream to the students. It was a day happily spent.
Children’s Day indeed holds a special place for everyone.
