The silver dawn of 7^th& 8^th August 2015 brought with itself the wind of joy and celebration. The lively and enthusiastic students of St. Mary’s Geyzing were all set for the grand celebration of opening ceremony of Silver jubilee of the school, conclusion of the Bi- centenary of the birth of Don Bosco and the Annual concert of the school.

In particular, we remembered with love and gratitude our beloved Sr. Gemma Libralesso, whose hard work, sacrifice,vision for the future, dedication and committed life enabled the dream of having this school for the poor a reality.

At 1.00 p.m. the ceremony commenced with the school brass band accompanying the Chief Guests and the invitees to the school hall with slow march. The chief Guest then unveiled the gorgeous flex that was prepared for the occasion and declared the Silver Jubilee of the school open. There was thunderous applause from the audience followed by the music band, brass band, bass drums. It was indeed an exciting, joyful and solemn moment. The cultural extravaganza was heart pounding and fabulous.

He congratulated and expressed his appreciation to the Sisters for their presence here in the land of orchids and for contributing for the growth and development of the State of Sikkim through education for the past 25 years.

May St. Mary’s continue to shelter the young under its mantle till they soar into greater heights – Onwards for ever onwards…
