Auxilium Convent School, Dum Dum organized a series of events to celebrate the Canonization of Mother Teresa. ‘Saint Teresa Week’ began from 19 September. The assembly prayer was dedicated to Mother Teresa. Classes VI to XII respectively, took up the prayer service each day. On 19 September, the Art and Craft Club organized a painting and sketching competition. The response from the students was overwhelming and the sketches/paintings submitted were beautifully done.

On 23^rd September, the Media club organized a Power Point presentation competition on the theme: “Mother Teresa, Life and works”. The visuals on her life were heartwarming as we saw the indomitable spirit that moved Mother Teresa to share in the suffering of others and to alleviate it. The Music club, on the 27 September had a surprise in store for us. They organized a song writing and singing competition (Duet) for classes VI to XII. The participants had to compose original lyrics and set them to melody. It was a creative and a melody filled session.  On 27 September there was a dance competition for the middle school. Vibrant and colourful dances were showcased by the students. The Instrumental/Musical competition of classes VI to VIII proved the talents of students at various instruments.

Mother Teresa’s Spirit of love, devotion and heroic sacrifice will be remembered by all of us.
