A TRIBUTE TO MAHATMA GANDHI
Gandhi Jayanti was celebrated with great enthusiasm in our school by the young artists of class IV. Mahatma Gandhi, the
father of our nation , promoted handicraft and the three H's -Heart, Head and Hand. Following his footsteps, our students
crafted beautiful and marvellous wall-hangings, photo frames, pencil stands, etc. from non-synthetic materials such as
jute, wood and other re-usable materials. This 'Best out of Waste' activity held on 1 October 2012, helped in bringing out
many stupefying masterpieces.
Almost all the countries of the world have their
specific folk music and dance which proves to
be a wonderful way of expression of their
community and traditions. To help our students
imbibe such culture, our school organized an
event – 'Folk Dances From Across The World'
on 5 October 2012. The students of class I put
forth dances of various countries like Egypt,
Russia, China, Turkey, Hawaii, Malaysia and
Saudi Arabia. Dressed up in colourful attire, the
students danced with great enthusiasm and
mesmerized the audience. The parents were
spellbound by the perfect performances of their
delicate darlings as they looked vibrant and
stunning in their wonderful costumes. The
event was a huge success as our little dancers
reminded the audience that life is not just about
getting through the storms, but about dancing
in the rain.

DANCE PERFORMANCES BY CLASS II AND III
Dancers can communicate ideas, preserve cultural identities, strengthen social bonds, or simply have a lot of fun. With this
thought in mind, our school gave an opportunity to the students of classes II and III to put forth their talent and express their
creativity in a Folk Dance Competition christened –Folk Dances From All Over The World. Our students presented beautiful
dances from countries like Mexico, Russia, China, Thailand, etc. The audience that included parents, teachers and the
esteemed judges, couldn't stop applauding. The judges were left spellbound by the mesmerizing performances of unique
dance forms. They praised the participants and their respective teachers for the undaunted effort put in to glorify the event.
Russian Folk Dance from class II and Korean Folk Dance from class III were adjudged the best dances and were
presented with prizes by our Chairperson, Ms. Anjali Aggrawal and our Principal, Ms. Sheena Kalenga.
