Janmashtami and Independence Day Celebrations

Cultural education is an essential aspect of our school curriculum to inculcate traditional Indian values. The auspicious festival of Janmashtami and the patriotism of Independence Day was celebrated with great zeal and fervor by Pre-Primary students of Ahlcon International School. Even in these difficult times, our little cherubs lifted the spirits of every heart by enjoying the activities conducted during the online classes. The students as well as the parents of Classes Nursery and Prep portrayed their creativity and enthusiasm in a Special Assembly conducted to celebrate Independence Day & Janmashtami in all the respective virtual classrooms on Friday, 14^th August 2020 on Teams platform.Several parents volunteered for the programme where they had prior sent their video clips to the respective class teachers showcasing their creativity through dance performances, preparing Jhankis, singing songs and preparing sweets.

Not only Janmashtami, Independence Day was also well celebrated with unprecedented patriotic fervour during the programme. As the spirit of freedom and nationalism was well exhibited by the students through a spectrum of performances, it was clear that we are inching closer to the fulfilment of our dream of a truly independent and progressive nation- a dream that a million Indians share. The children showcased their talents along with their parents and indulged in flameless cooking by making yummy tricolor sandwiches which was followed by clips of melodious rendition of patriotic songs, poems and performed skits too. All the entries received by the parents were strung together in the form of a beautiful movie and was presented in the programme. The inspiring thoughts and appreciating words shared by Principal Sir, Headmistress ma’am & Section Coordinator made this programme a successful event.

This celebration brought devotion, creativity, enjoyment, and fun all together.
