Thanksgiving and Annual Awards Day

This Ceremony was truly a rollicking goo time for everyone. Since the award winners were themselves oblivious, every person in the crowd waited with bated breath and anticipation grew thick as a fog for the announcement of the stars of the day as anyone could be called upon the stage to receive the trophy or the medal!

Thanksgiving includes thanking every person who helped us, even in a seemingly minor way, at any point of time. Thus, besides our students, special recognition and of course sweets and gifts were given to housekeeping staff for their remarkable contributions for maintaining the cleanliness, order and arrangement of the school.
