*79th Independence Day Celebration*
The 79th Independence Day was celebrated in our school with immense pride, joy, and patriotic fervor. The campus bloomed in the vibrant hues of saffron, white, and green, adorned with fluttering flags and festive decorations.
The celebration began on the school ground with the flag hoisting ceremony, led by our honorable Chief Guest and Manager, Sr. Prema, accompanied by our Principal, Sr. Abha. As the tricolor unfurled, the solemn notes of the National Anthem resonated in the air, stirring hearts with deep love for the nation.
The program then moved to the school auditorium, where a beautifully arranged cultural presentation unfolded. It opened with a soulful prayer service by the secondary students, followed by a melodious prayer song. The primary students lifted the spirit of the occasion with a patriotic song, while the secondary section showcased an inspiring speech on independence, a graceful folk dance, and vibrant patriotic dances — all reflecting the spirit of freedom, unity, and pride.
After the program, certificates were also distributed to the winners of the Spell Bee Competition, Debate Competition, and Solo Singing Competition conducted last month, adding to the joy and recognition of students’ talents and achievements.
Our Chief Guest, Sr. Prema, in her soul-stirring address, paid heartfelt tribute to our freedom fighters and inspired the gathering to cherish this hard-earned freedom, remain steadfast in unity, uphold the values of truth and justice, and contribute selflessly to the progress and prosperity of our beloved India.
Our Principal, Sr. Abha, concluded the celebration with her words of wisdom and heartfelt appreciation for the well-coordinated program.
The day ended on a sweet note with the distribution of sweets to students, symbolizing joy, togetherness, and celebration. This memorable occasion left every heart brimming with patriotism and pride.
