SHARING

THE   ST. MARY’S PRIMARY SCHOOL NEWSLETTER

SUMMER OF 2010

FAREWELL CLASS OF 2010

                The theme of the farewell programme revolved in nostalgia that overcomes every outgoing student at the time

 of farewell. Their time has come to say goodbye and step into the future. As they give a last look at their school, thoughts like  the  following could perhaps be in their minds:

The time has come,
For closing books and long last looks must end,
And as I leave,
I know that I am leaving my best friend,
A friend who taught me right from wrong, 
And weak from strong,
That's a lot to learn,
What, what can I give you in return?

                The annual Farewell Party, like previous years was organized by the current class X in collaboration

with their friends of classes IX and VIII and the juniors. The organizing committee spared no effort to make this farewell event

a memorable one. The planning and execution of the programme was entirely done by them.

              On the 24th of April, the Class of 2010 was invited to the grand Farewell Party, along with teachers of both Playland

and St. Mary’s Primary School. The programme began with a series of dances, songs presented by the children.

The juniors - Abhishek Ghosh, Ayesha, Rajlakshmi, and Ayush presented two lively dances that thrilled the audience to the core.   Shivam Gupta (VIII) sang, “Seasons in the Sun” on the occasion.

       There were also a variety of dances and quizzes for the outgoing class. Upsana Bibha judged the best speaker

   and her batch mate Himadri Sinha was selected for the best dressed girl...  Mementos were presented to each of the outgoing    

   students by Mr. Allen Johannes

        The programme concluded with a sumptuous lunch for everyone. The food was excellent. The kids had arranged a dosa man in the campus to provide piping hot and delicious dosas .The dessert was also superb.

    Shivam Gupta, Ravi Prakash and Satyam have jointly prepared a video of the entire program. It turned out to be the handwork of professionals.

         Sincere thanks to Miss Marianne Johannes of Playland and Ms. Mita Verma for guiding the organizers of the programme.

The 2010 Farewell was an immense success!   The dance sequences was choreographed by Bipul Agrawal (x)

Thanks to one and all!

Write down all the great things about everyone you know. Make a huge list of all the

wonderful things about you. Compliment people wherever you go.

Praise every single thing you see.

Be a ray of sunshine to everyone you meet, and make their day better for having seen you.

Say "Thank you" at every turn. Walk, talk, think, and breathe appreciation and gratitude
