There was a very exciting atmosphere on the 24th of January, 2023. It was a very special and important day for the school because it was its 1st Annual Day Celebration. This was the most awaited day as this was a very emotional and propitious day for everyone who is part of this institution. Sr. Leena Jacob, the President of the Education Society of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Annecy, Bhubaneswar, presided over the 1st Annual day celebration of the school. Mrs Janaki Pradhan – Sarapanch of Sankarakhol and Mr Kirap Pradhan Samidisabhya of Sankarakhol were the Guests of Honour. There was a spirit of festivity as the campus was decorated with a beautiful combination of white and blue. Parents arrived much before time and occupied their seats to watch the stunning performance of their kids. Fathers, sisters and guests from various institutions and communities were present for the function.
The students escorted the guests to the dais. The formal inaugural ceremony of the Annual day celebration commenced with an invocation dance. Students brought down the divine spirit through their entreating performance. A very gracious welcome was extended to the guests and parents. The lamp-lighting ceremony enveloped the campus with positivity and divinity. The presentations of the school’s annual report undoubtedly showcased the achievements and glories of the school. They rememorized the ups and downs the school has gone through together the whole year. The day’s guests were felicitated with a bouquet and memento.
The cultural extravaganza began with the theme presentation “Ignite”. The students rightly said that the very existence of St. Joseph’s English Medium School at Sankarakhol is to illumine the minds. This school stands upright here like a flame, always burning and spreading light to others. Moreover, the students of this school glitter and glow through this temple of learning. Students’ minds are enlightened, passions are explored, souls are ignited, imaginations are bloomed here, and the school kindles the fire within everyone. It sets life on fire for the more. So the most befitting theme for the 1st Annual day celebration of the school was IGNITE.
The 1st Annual function of the school was not just a festival of talents before the guests but also a platform to ignite the minds. Each class had wisely selected the theme, choreographed with diligence and artistically presented their message before the great gathering. The dancing babes, concerts of the energetic toddlers, and the aromas of this citadel of learning on a cold winter night became a part of everyone’s memories. The show ended, but it still lingers in the hearts that made the audience spellbound.
