The St Louis Nursery and Primary School in Bida, Nigeria celebrated the official opening of eight classrooms, which was kindly grant-aided by Misean Cara. It was a very colorful day in the school as two other celebrations, the annual graduation and the annual prize-giving, also took place.
The ceremony was well attended by parents, friends of the school, priests, and staff and pupils of the school and other schools in the locality. The Chairman of the occasion commended the management and staff for their work in contributing to the growth and development of the children in the community and society at large, while the Vicar General expressed his gratitude to the St Louis Sisters for their contribution to education in the diocese and the donation of the block of eight classrooms.
Headmistress, Clara Azubuike SSL, thanked God for the graduating students and other pupils. She was full of gratitude to Misean Cara and the Central and Provincial Leadership Teams for their efforts in donating the magnificent building.
During the ceremony distinguished pupils received awards and prizes, and the new classroom block was also commissioned by Rev. Fr. Sylvester Gopep, and supported by Catherine Ologunagba SSL and others. The classrooms and facilities were also inspected, and the beautiful plaque showing the Sisters of St Louis Mission Statement unveiled.
The pupils entertained the audience with poems, traditional dances, songs and other beautiful presentations during the event.
