On the auspicious occasion of Jagannath Rath Yatra 2026, our campus resonated with devotional chants, ringing bells, and joyous prayers as students and faculty joined hands for a grand indoor chariot procession.

At Mother Teresa Memorial School (MTMS), we love finding creative ways to connect our students with the changing world around them. With the arrival of the refreshing rainy season, our pre-primary classrooms came alive on July 9, 2026, for a delightful and interactive “Happy Monsoon” Craft Activity. The classroom blackboard set the perfect scene with beautiful chalk drawings of smiling rainclouds and a colorful umbrella, inspiring our little learners to dive into their own artistic projects. Bringing the Rainy Season to Life on Paper Armed with colorful paper sheets, glue, and crayons, our young students stepped into the role of miniature designers. The activity focused on creating a beautiful multi-dimensional monsoon scene inside their workbooks: 3D Paper Umbrellas: Students carefully folded and layered vibrant, multi-colored paper to create eye-catching 3D umbrellas that popped right off the page. Fluffy Rainclouds: Little hands carefully glued soft blue cutout clouds at the top of their artwork. Drawing the Rain: Using their crayons, the children drew rows of falling raindrops, completing their perfect stormy-day masterpieces. The absolute focus on their faces as they assembled their crafts—followed by the proud moments where they held up their finished work—made the entire session incredibly rewarding. Learning Through Crafting While this activity brought immense joy and laughter to the classroom, it also served as an essential tool for early childhood development. By cutting, folding, gluing, and drawing, our students developed: Fine Motor Coordination: Manipulating small paper layers and utilizing glue sticks refines hand dexterity. Spatial Awareness: Learning how to arrange different elements (clouds at the top, umbrellas in the middle) to build a cohesive visual scene. Creative Expression: Encouraging young minds to explore textures, shapes, and vibrant color combinations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8Bf8jbVxTI

At Mother Teresa Memorial School (MTMS), we believe that learning in early childhood should be an immersive, joyful, and tactile experience. On July 14, 2026, our pre-primary classrooms were filled with excitement, giggles, and a splash of bright green paint as our youngest learners participated in a delightful Thumb Impression Activity. Stepping away from traditional coloring tools like crayons and markers, the students used the best brushes nature gave them—their own tiny thumbs! Bringing Art to Life, One Print at a Time The creative task of the day was to fill out a beautiful drawing of a bunch of grapes sketched perfectly on the blackboard and inside their activity workbooks. Our little artists dipped their thumbs into vibrant green paint, carefully pressing them down to form juicy, textured grapes. The concentration on their faces as they stamped their pages, followed by the immense pride when showing off their completed masterpieces, was truly heartwarming. The Purpose Behind the Play While this activity looks like pure fun on the surface, it serves as a vital stepping stone in early childhood development. Activities like thumb printing help our young students build: Fine Motor Skills: Strengthening the small muscles in the hands and fingers, which is essential for learning how to hold a pencil and write. Hand-Eye Coordination: Encouraging precision as they aim to print within specific boundaries. Sensory Exploration: Exploring new textures and properties of liquid paint through touch. Confidence & Expression: Giving children a sense of achievement as they create a tangible piece of art from scratch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQs_rxA48yU

At Mother Teresa Memorial School (MTMS), our core motto—Leadership, Wisdom, Compassion, and Growth—finds its deepest foundation in the holistic health of our students. On International Yoga Day 2026, our campus auditorium transformed into a peaceful sanctuary of energy, focus, and mindful movement. Students across all grades gathered together on the red mats to honor this ancient Indian practice, demonstrating that true education goes beyond textbooks to encompass physical strength, mental clarity, and inner peace. Unified Breathing: Mass Pranayama Sessions The celebration began with quiet mindfulness as hundreds of students sat together in a cross-legged position to practice Pranayama (breath control). Guided by our instructors, the children practiced Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) and deep meditation. Seeing an entire hall filled with young minds breathing in unison created a calming and focused environment for the day. Grace in Motion: Standing Postures & Alignment Following the breathwork, our students performed a series of synchronized standing asanas, including Tadasana (Mountain Pose) and Vrikshasana (Tree Pose). With hands raised high in Namaskar Mudra, the students showcased great discipline, poise, and body alignment, reflecting weeks of dedicated practice. Spectacular Acrobatics: Group Formations & Human Pyramids The highlight of the event was an extraordinary demonstration of advanced group yoga and human pyramids by our senior students: The Human Pyramid: Demonstrating trust, core strength, and perfect balance, students carefully built a multi-level human pyramid, balancing on each other’s shoulders with total precision. Plank & Arch Variations: Other groups performed intricate plank bridges and backward flexes, holding their positions steadily under the watchful eyes of their peers and mentors. Synchronized Bends: A group of female students showcased synchronized backbends (Chakrasana variations) and floor splits, forming beautiful geometric patterns on stage. Building Life Skills Through Yoga Yoga is much more than exercise—it is a discipline that builds essential character traits: Focus & Memory: Calming the nervous system directly boosts classroom attention and retention. Teamwork & Trust: Constructing human pyramids requires absolute trust, communication, and mutual reliance among students. Resilience: Mastering complex poses teaches children patience, persistence, and self-confidence. A Commitment to Well-Being We extend our deepest appreciation to our physical education mentors for training the students so meticulously, and to our young yogis for putting on such an inspiring performance! At MTMS, we remain dedicated to weaving health, wellness, and mindfulness into the daily lives of our future leaders.
