MUMBAI, AUGUST 17, 2009: The staff and students of Don Bosco High School, Borivli celebrated the birthday of their Principal Fr. George Carlos with much enthusiasm on August 13, 2009. The school marching band welcomed the birthday boy along with the Administrator, Fr. Allwyn and Fr. Anthony Goyal with a wonderful welcome song. Two groups of students from Std. VII and Std. X presented some foot-tapping dances which were thoroughly enjoyed by all present. The Electric band then sang some melodious songs which included a couple of Fr. George's favourite songs.
The icing on the cake was the PowerPoint Presentation. Even though the staff and students have known Fr. George Carlos for just a brief period of a couple of months, the teachers and students who planned the programme, ensured that all got a chance to learn a little more about him, his background, his hobbies, his likes and dislikes and also his family, through a wonderful presentation. It also helped Fr. Principal to re-live some of his memories from his childhood and youth.
Instead of gifts for the Principal, the P.T.A. decided to make a collection of stationary items which could be distributed to needy children. The students contributed a large variety of articles generously which were presented to Fr. George as a birthday present. These gifts will be sent to a number of centres where they can be put to good use.
