Farewell Sister Jayshree


Sister Jayashree SND(59), the Principal of Notre Dame Academy passed away on 7, June 2007. She suffered a massive heart attack compounded with asthama.

The paradox was that CBSE officials from Delhi contacted the school on the same day morning announcing that Sr. Jayashree was selected as the Best Principal at the national level!

Sr. Jayashree was known as a strict Principal. Jayshree was known to be a woman who spoke her mind, at times brutally frank. She was completing her sixth year as Principal of Notre Dame. The chief Minister, Nitish Kumar sent his condolences and directed the Collector of Patna to offer a wreath on his behalf.

The school hall was overflowing with her , students, teachers, parents, from Kerala, Religious and priests. Archbishop Benedict Osta SJ was the main celebrant.

Honorable Speaker of the Bihar Legislative Assembly Uday Narain Chowdhary too was present. Fr. Peter Arokiasamy SJ preached the homily.
