The St. Mary’s Primary School (SMP) recently held two days of activities to bring Christmas cheer to staff and students.
The events, a Christmas Extravaganza and the other performances by the Government Music Lovers’ Band took place on Tuesday 15th and Wednesday 16th December 2015, on the grounds of the school.
President of the Parents Teachers Association (PTA) at SMP, Wadsworth Charles, told Dominica News Online that the initiative was undertaken by staff, parents and the PTA of the school.
The highlights of the Christmas extravaganza included Christmas tree lighting, presentation of songs, poems and skits by all classes and some special students received gifts.
It came to a close with a singing presentation by the teachers entitled “A Ray of Hope”.
The other event, by the Music Lovers’ Band, saw staff and students coming together to sing Christmas carols.
“These two events were first-time events for the school where the boys displayed their creativity, their skills and their talents,” Charles said.
He explained that the events were organized because of the recent passage of Tropical Storm Erika, which is still fresh in the minds of a lot of people, and the cancellation of many Independence activities.
“We wanted to bring this whole Christmas cheer and have these events that you didn’t have to pay and send the students off to their vacation with something special in their hearts,” he remarked.
Grand, joyful celebration, a fitting one prior to Christmas school holidays.
Christmas is a wonderful time of the year as we remember the Birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ. I often wonder what is occurring in Heaven especially on Christmas Day, Good Friday and Easter Sunday including Sundays when Christians congregate to give due worship to God The Father, God The Son and God The Holy Spirit.
I once asked a friend if she ever thought of it. She replied: “No!” I told her, “Think about it!”
Silver bells, silver bells,
It’s Christmas-time in the City
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas Day..
A Blessed Christmas and a Happy and Wonderful New Year to each one of you and your family!
Christmas spirit is in the air
