“Art has the role in education of helping children become like themselves instead of more like anyone else”.  - Sydney Gurewitz Clemens

The ebullient children of the Nursery and Preparatory geared up in the party attire, in traditional dresses, awesome and terrific costumes of Halloween adorned the foyer on the bright sunlit Wednesday morning.  The blithe children were elated and thrilled to see the special display of goodies and foodies marked for the religious festivities.

The fanciful array of doll exhibits for Dussehra, electrifying Diyas lighting up the Rangoli for Diwali, Dahi Uri and Lord Krishna’s footprints marking the Janmashtami, gorgeous Ganapati Bappa with Modhak, village scenic beauty with Pongal and hallowed Ramzan decorations, grabbed the enthusiasm of the thoughtful and careful children.

The party scenes of Christmas, New Year and Halloween, Wedding, Birthday and Dance made them to exhibit their profuse joyfulness. Children were happy to view the food items and they were awestruck to be seated on the Wedding dais. The ghostly Halloween marked their ‘terrific’ fear. Christmas lights, angels, stars and Santa Claus coupled with children in red and whites brightened up the occasion.

The day began with the special assembly coordinated by the Music Department for the occasion. Settling exercises followed the Shloka and Prayer song. The well-turned speech by the Preparatory children on the importance of celebrating various festivals received applauds from everyone. The delightful Nurserians enjoyed singing rhymes with actions. Sensational and stunning Folk dance performance by the Preparatory children was followed by an appreciative speech given by Headmaster.

The skillful and caring helpers gave a graceful dance performance as a visual treat for the Little Folks. The teachers’ enactment on the Birthday party with the message, “Big or small, Friendship is all” was well received by the children. The children dispersed for the various indoor and outdoor activities to be continued for the day after visiting the kiosks and visualizing the displays of the day.
