Earth Day Celebrations at India International School, Kuwait
Monday, April 27, 2015
India International School Kuwait takes pride in joining the World Earth Day Celebrations by putting this year’s slogan –It’s Our Turn to Lead’- into practice. IISM walks an extra mile to demonstrate our support for environmental protection.
Highlight of the celebrations was the campaign “AN HOUR FOR OUR PLANET EARTH”. All electrical and electronic appliances in the school campus were switched off for an hour to remind everyone about energy conservation. Mr.Nabeel from the Ministry of Private Education did the honour of switching the lights off. Parents and friends also were urged to join us in this venture.
An assortment of activities and competitions were conducted. ‘Just Go Wild’ was organized for the tiny-tots of Kindergarten where all the children were clad in animal costumes. It was a well thought out plan to develop a sense of responsibility and compassion towards animals who share this beautiful planet with us. The beautifully decorated corridors conveyed the impression of a real jungle safari.
Special assemblies were conducted by all the sections starting from KG to the Senior Secondary level with the themes–‘Protect Animals’, ‘Reduce, Reuse and Recycle’, Protect the Mother Earth , and ‘It’s Our Turn to Lead. The themes were further reinforced by songs, speeches, skits, poems etc.
The children were reminded that everyone can make a difference and contribute to protect the earth by keeping their surroundings clean. Students of classes l-V cleaned their class rooms and a beach Cleaning activity was conducted for the students of classes IX-XII in order to spread the message that the conservation activities are not to be confined within the school or houses. Class l students were taught to make head gears with the picture of Mother Earth, and an AV show was conducted. Class ll students made Book Marks with slogans regarding conservation. The students of classes III-VIII did activities like Poster Making, Collage Making Slogan writing and Elocution.
The School Director, Mr. Malayil Moosa Koya planted a sapling in the school campus in the presence of the Principal, Sr. Vice Principal and Section Vice Principals. On the whole, it was a satiating day for India International School Family as an Earth friendly ambiance was successfully created within the school and friends circle.
