Holy Child Model Nursery and Primary School Otukpo

The celebration of our 175th Foundation Feast took a unique look as it was a creativity and twins day. We had a thanksgiving Mass and after the Mass, we went up the hill to our new face interlocking floor for drawing, painting , and other crafts. The twins competition followed. The 9 sets of twins in the school were celebrated as they had fashion parade, dance competition and questions and answers based on how much they know their twin. There was a cultural display and choreography by the learners then dance dance dance by learners, staff and few parents. Awards were given to the best artist in the Nursery, Primary category and also to the best teacher artist of the day. The winner of the twins competition went home with a gift. The judges were fair in their judgement and the learners and staff were full of life and joy. We praise and thank God for His blessings.
