Sunder Munderiye Ho !
In order to pay
homage to the SUPREME BEING for
neutralizing the illusion by lighting the inner glow and the support extended
throughout the year, also to mark the significance of the Festival of Harvest(Lohri) and the Hindu New Year(Makar Sankranti); a Special assembly was conducted
today for PYP grades (nursery to 5). The students offered prayers to the God of Sun
and Fire, teachers created awareness among students about the significance of
both the festivals by story-telling.
The assembly also featured poem recitation
by students in Hindi and Punjabi, specially the folk song Sunder Munderiye…
followed by a speech to indicate the reasons behind these celebrations every
year.
We also had a cake cutting ceremony by our tiny tots from PYP nursery to
mark the beginning of the New Year with all positive thoughts and blessings.
The most energetic part of the celebration was the Dance Party, which was enjoyed in full Punjabi style by our lovely
students.
We wish you all
too a very HAPPY LOHRI and a Happy New Year (Makar Sankranti)!!!
