School Report on Grand Parents' Day

(A Salute to Our Roots)

'Nobody can do for little children, what grandparents do.

Grandparents sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children.'

 

Grandparents are a family's greatest treasure, the founders of a loving legacy, the greatest storytellers, and the keepers of traditions. Grandparents are a family's strong foundation. Through their special love and care, grandparents keep a family close at heart.

“Love is the greatest gift that one generation can leave to another.”  -- Richard Garnett

To honour them Pre- Primary section of the school celebrated Grandparents' Day on 23rd November 2019 (Saturday). The morning was filled with excitement and cheer as the kindergartners anxiously waited to welcome their dear grandparents in the school auditorium.

 

The function commenced with the welcoming of the Chief Guest and the Grandparents in 'Tilak Ceremony'. The Chief Guest for the day was Mr. Rohit Sindhu, the Finance Head of Indus Public Schools across the country. The kindergarteners stole everyone's heart by singing a melodious hymn 'Hey Sharde Maa..Agyanta Se Hamein Taar De Maa'. The recitation of a Hindi poem on Dada - Daadi and synchronized solo dance performances by our tiny tots left the audience mesmerized.

 

A short summary of Ramayana by a child of UKG was exemplary and made all the grandparents devotional. A few well planned, wonderful and engaging games were organized for grandmothers and grandfathers individually and some couple games- Name the Spices Games, Name Mobile Apps Game, Zodiac Sign Games etc were fully enjoyed by the grandparents. The prizes were distributed to the winners of these games.

 

“Everyone needs to have access both to grandparents and grandchildren in order to be a full human being.”  -- Margaret Mead

The grandparents shared their experiences of the day, and showered blessings upon the school, staff and students. The Chief Guest appreciated the good show presented by the students and highlighted the value of Grandparents in our lives and philosophy of reverence.

 

The programme summed up with the distribution of a small copy of Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta to all the guests.

 

“What children need most are the essentials that grandparents provide in abundance. They give unconditional love, kindness, patience, humour, comfort, lessons in life. And, most importantly,cookies.”
