The pre-primary students were dressed up as great leaders and personalities of our country like Mahatma Gandhi, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Subhash Chandra Bose, Indira Gandhi, Rani Lakshmi Bhai, Mother Teresa, Sarojini Naidu etc and spoke a few words about the same. The solo melodious rendition ‘Yeh Watan’ by Ms. Karen Ann Toby mesmerized the audience.
In the assembly conducted by the primary wing, a skit was staged by the students of Class II which portrayed Mahatma Gandhi’s contribution to the freedom struggle and his teachings. Honesty, non-violence, simplicity, forgiveness were among a few values which were showcased through the skit. It was a wonderful display of the talent of the kids which instilled a sense of pride and honour in each one present in the gathering.
