Christmas Celebrations
Christmas Celebration
is a much – awaited event in Orchids. Though a lot of preparation takes place
in the depiction of ‘The Nativity Play’ the anticipation is full of pleasant
surprises like the arrival of Santa Claus amidst a lot of cheer and a wagon of
gifts. ‘The Nativity play’ was a marvelous presentation of the birth of Jesus
Christ. The school choir continued to render sonorous Christmas Carols
throughout the celebration.
This year’s Santa
indeed decided to teach the audience the quality of patience. No one knew who
was arriving as the beloved Santa till they heard the voice of Santa. Patience
is fruitful. It makes us reap the rewards.
Mrs. Mona Mehdi,
Principal of Orchids – The International School addressed the gathering and
thanked all whose ardent efforts went into a wonderful celebration that ended
with cake cutting and hearty wishes for a
‘ A Merry Christmas’ reverberating.
