GRAND PARENT’S DAY AND VALMIKI JAYANTHI CELEBRATED AT TRINITY CENTRAL SCHOOL ON 24TH OCTOBER 2018
Grandparents play an important role in the lives of every child. Trinity Central School celebrated ‘Grandparents Day’ on 24th October 2018. There were nearly 250 grandparents present.

The Grand Parent’s Day commenced with a prayer song invoking God’s blessings on the day and on all our activities. Rev. Fr. Anil D’Costa, the Principal, Rev. Fr. Ravi Rajesh, the Administrator, Ms. Magdelina Lewis, Guest Speaker Dr. Sneha were on the dais. The dignitaries on the dais grandparents and the doctors from MAHE were welcomed by Ms. Akshatha.

As it was also a ‘Valmiki Jayanthi Day,’ Valmiki, a literary genius who had written the Ramayana, the first epic poem of India was remembered.

The special day was filled with variety of programmes including dance by small kids, skit to depict the love and respect towards grandparents along with lively and entertaining games which enthralled the audience. The skit ‘Sanadi Appanna’ conveyed the message how the youngsters need to treat the old parents and show them love and affection.

As the grandparents were watching the programme there was a free medical checkup organized by Manipal Community Health Department for the senior citizens where most of them were treated for old age illness. The special event of ‘Selfie with Grandpa / Grandma’ brought smiles on the faces of the children as well as the grandparents. There were various spot games and winners were awarded while Grandparents who lived the highest years of married life were felicitated.

A wonderful input session was given by Dr. Shwetha, Assistant Professor in Department of Clinical Psychology, SOAHS – MAHE on how to live a blessed old life and to cope with physical, mental and psychological illness during this stage. We also had a few grandparents share their experience of the day, spent in school with their grandchildren and the staff of Trinity.

Rev. Fr. Anil D’Costa, the principal speaking on the occasion thanked the grandparents for their participation and being actively involved in various events.

The programme came to an end by proposing a vote of thanks by Ms. Sushma S. V. to the grandparents and the audience, staff, students and management of Trinity Central School.
