Mangaluru, Nov 19: Lourdes Central School always strives to uphold the values and celebration each festival brings. Though the students were not able to come to school, the staff left no stone unturned to spread the message of Deepavali – the festival of light for each and every student of LCS. The programme was planned and executed under the guidance of the principal Fr Robert D’sSouza.

The celebration began by lighting a lamp which is a symbol to remove the darkness within us and spread the light of hope, happiness and health. Speaking on the occasion, Fr Robert D’Souza wished everyone a happy Deepavali and prayed that this Deepavali brings light into everyone’s lives. The school bulletin board was decorated attractively by the Deepavali messages and the school was decorated with lights and lanterns.

A pre-recorded video on Deepavali, which included the inaugural function, importance of Deepavali, Do It Yourself–eco-friendly way to prepare diyas to decorate houses and a meaningful dance by the staff which spread the fragrance of Deepavali was played during the virtual classes.

As Lourdes Central School always focuses on eco-friendly practices, a unique competition was organised for the students- preparing eco-friendly goodudeepa. This special concept was well appreciated by the parents. The overwhelming responses and creative and innovative ideas presented by the students is proof that the students too enjoyed and enriched themselves., the celebration was meaningful and truly upheld the message of Deepavali that is 'Celebrating life with everyone'. Let this Deepavali light a lamp of love and blast a chain of sorrow.
