St. Xavier's School Loyola Hall. APX & Loyola Parivar organized Aarti and Garba. It was a great event. Offline students not only came to learn but also to celebrate Navratri. Each day was allotted to particular class. Today being the last day we had  teachers' Garba. It was well organized. Prizes were distributed. Thanks to organizing committee. of course SOP was strictly observed.

It was awesome program amidst of Pandemic we are giving moral support in organizing events for parents, students and teachers. We have had nine wonderful days. The whole campus danced to its tune. The teachers and management did a good job.

We know, of all the things that mankind has, money holds an imperative place in this materialistic world. No one out there lends a penny without any motive. We suffered the same when our town, Sahibganj, was hit by floods. Thepandemic had already swallowed the lives of the bread winners of some families. Havingno work and nowhere to go, people had resorted to working anywhere to fill their stomachs, but who knew that they hadn't seen the worst yet. In the middle of August, the monsoon came in a deluge, wreaking havoc on people, killing those who were already close to death and oppressing the oppressed.

St.Xavier's School, Sahibganj, stands out as the epitome of love and care and has done a lot for the people during the Pandemic. We had thought of helping these people who were hit by the floods, but little did we realize thespectrum of tasks to be done to provide relief to the people.

SOXA, St Xavier's School, Sahibganj, and Loyola Alumni Association (LAA), Jamshedpur, organized a medical check up camp for displaced and flood affected families in town areas, namely Church Road and Gulli Bhatta, and poor families in 3 small, still flooded island villages in Rampur Diara, which is opposite the St. Xavier’s School campus.

St. Xavier’s embarked on the timely mission of ensuring that the flood affected people of Sahibganj who were displaced from their homes, got a meal.

Next they sent out a message for medical aid to which the Loyola Alumni Association responded.
