’GRANDPARENTS DAY’ – AUXILIUM CARANZALEM “Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children.” — Alex Haley

To cherish the unconditional bond between the grandparents and their grandkids, Auxilium Primary and Pre-Primary School celebrated 'Grandparents day' on 28th July 2026 with great love and zeal. The programme began at 9 a.m. with a grand welcome to the grandparents. With thunderous applause, the students ushered their grandparents up to the hall. They offered them small tokens of love that lit up their eyes.

Tr. Judith compered the event. Tr. Megha welcomed the gathering. The programme started with a short prayer followed by a prayer dance setting a prayerful mood. The students showcased vivid performances like a poem dedicated to the grandparents, a lighthearted action song, a Bollywood fashion show and energetic dance performances that brought smiles on the faces of the grandparents. A fun game and a few spot prizes were also arranged for the grandparents which brought out the child-like enthusiasm of the grandparents. They also wholeheartedly participated in the cooking competition that was specially organized for them based on the theme 'Cooking with Pulses.' Their delicious and nutritious dishes were a hit, each more delicious than the other. The winners as well as the participants were given prizes for their sheer efforts. Manager, Sr. Joanita Antao, extended her warm wishes to the grandparents and thanked the Primary In-charge, Sr. Dolly, teachers in charge of the event, Tr. Megha, Tr. Judith, Tr. Celina and Tr. Lavita, and the other teachers for their efforts in making the event special.
