Students of Std 8A participated in the “Tree of Kindness” activity, spreading the message of compassion, service to society, and character building as envisioned by Swami Vivekananda.

Students of Std 9 participated in the “Our Rays of Dreams and Goals” activity, inspiring students to set meaningful goals and strive towards achieving a brighter future.

Creative displays and quotations were put up on the notice boards, adding colour and meaning to the celebrations.

The joint celebration beautifully conveyed that strong nations are built by strong youth and enlightened guidance.
