On the auspicious occasion of the 78th Independence Day, students, teachers, and support staff gathered together to pay respect to our National Flag and our motherland. The atmosphere was filled with pride and patriotism. The festivities began with the students marching in perfect sync, to the tunes of the school band. It was followed by the hoisting of the National Flag by our respected Principal Madam, who was escorted by the guard of honour. The school yard resonated with the sound of the National Anthem as everyone present sang "Jana Gana Mana" with heads held high and hearts filled with pride. The flag hoisting was followed by patriotic melodies performed by our immensely talented students. A very young and confident Advita Sharma from second standard impressed the audience by her impeccable speech. The highlight of the day was the powerful and inspiring words by our beloved Principal Madam. She encouraged the young learners, the future leaders of the nation, to value and respect the freedom we have earned through great sacrifice. She also emphasized on the important topics such as inclusiveness and healthy eating habits, reminding everyone that a healthy mind resides in a healthy body. The ceremony concluded with a pledge where we all promised to build a sustainable society and to exercise our right to vote. We all renewed our commitment to our country as responsible citizens.
