The air is filled with a sense of patriotism and pride and everyone fondly remembers our beloved mother India wherever we may be on the planet. To celebrate the 72nd anniversary of Indian’s independence from her previous colonial rulers, a Flag making competition was held in the school premises. Students of class 1 to 4th whole heartedly participated in the event and one could see our tricolor of all shapes and sizes in the campus. It was as if the air itself transformed into saffron, white and green. Parents too could not help but visit the campus and witness the exhibits of their children. It was a pleasant surprise for them to see the talent that lay hidden in their children which they were unaware of. One could clearly see the pride in their eyes.

In a matter of few minutes, exquisite posters were rolled out by the participants. The varieties and the colours used were fabulous. One could see the masterclass in these displays. Everyone was simply awestruck by the bountiful talent possessed by the little fingers of these future citizens.

Inspite of all the varieties, the unique bond of undisputed patriotism was clearly evident in the posters. The present generation is very clear in its head and we can rest assured the leaders of tomorrow are well armed to do their jobs.

It is a universally accepted truth that good handwriting is a true foundation of good education. Good handwriting makes a good impression during and even after ‘school time’. Keeping this fact in mind, the school always strives and works to ensure that students have every opportunity to achieve good handwriting skills. As part of this endeavour, ‘Hindi Hand - Writing computation’ was held for students of Std 1 to Std 5. As expected, all students participated in the event. They were required to write a short paragraph. Their handwritings were later verified by judges and the students with the best handwriting were awarded prizes. The joy present on their faces when they received the prizes made the whole process priceless and worthwhile. This also encouraged those students who did not succeed in winning a prize to improve their handwriting and be a winner in the next contest.
