Independence Day Celebration:
Azadi ka Amrit mahotsav was celebrated week-long with all the classes being involved in one independence-day- themed activity or another . Special songs were played and inspirational stories of Tamilnadu’s mighty contribution to India’s freedom struggle were relayed through the public address system..
Students from Kindergarten to class 11 decorated the classrooms and the noticeboards with beautiful drawings, paper craft works, posters ,collages and poems based on Indian Independence, India’s cultural heritage and patriotism.
In junior section, on a designated day , children had brought unique and extremely creative thiranga-themed snacks and lunch that their parents had prepared so thoughtfully . Children were exchanging Independence Day wishes throughout the day until the dispersal time.
Many other activities were conducted in the classrooms to awaken the spirit of national pride among students.
The week culminated on the D- day when Jeevana hoisted the tricolour with aplomb as the gathering of students and staff members saluted the fluttering flag . The Head Girl gave a rousing speech on how far India has come in the past 75 years and how far it needs to go .
In the current scenario where kids and teens are lured by the k-dramas ,anime and the western lifestyle in general, it is vital that they are reminded of the uniqueness of what our country has to offer to Indians and the rest of the world.
It’s high time we made Freedom count.
