Birthday greetings to a shining beacon!
Birthdays present us an opportunity to say THANK YOU. And so it was for us on 5th of
December - the birthday of our dear Vice-Principal and Headmistress, Ms. Nicole
Britto. She was wreathed in smiles…and
bouquets, wishes, cards and greetings.
Many accolades and praises came her way – and she did deserve every one
of them!
The morning began with a prayer by the Principal, Fr.
Bernard Fernandes, for Ms. Nicole on the occasion of her birthday. He thanked God for the beautiful gift to us
in the person of Ms. Nicole who dedicated herself selflessly to the cause of
the students (especially the weak and the poor) entrusted to her care. Master Neel read an address on behalf of the
students singing paeans extolling the virtues and the commendable qualities of
Ms. Nicole. The birthday song sung by
the entire assembly resounded through the classrooms and the corridors of the
school. The class representatives
surprised the birthday girl with some exotic bonsai plants that accompanied
their attractive and sentiment filled greeting cards. The young children of the
Kg section – and Ms. Nicole does not hide her special love and preference for
them – felicitated the Vice-Principal in their classrooms with cards, bouquets,
songs and huge smiles.
At a special birthday session hosted by the school staff,
Ms. Nicole was overwhelmed by the many greetings and heartfelt sentiments that poured
in. Fr. Godfrey, the Rector of the
institution, doffed his hat to the headmistress for her magnanimity in offering
her services to the school and the parish.
Later in the afternoon, Ms. Nicole was present with the study class
children at a special sponsored lunch for them.
An unfeigned gratitude for someone who cares much for them was evident in
their expressions of love and appreciation.
We are indeed privileged to have a great and dedicated
Vice-Principal and Headmistress in Ms. Nicole Britto. May God bless her hundredfold to carry
forward the task of educating and guiding young students, and continue to be a
committed shining beacon.
Very true. Ms. Nicole is doing an excellent job, not only in school as Vice Principal but also in the Parish and of course the choir. I have been very fortunate to know her personally and I am touched by her generosity and helpful nature. God Bless her always.
