He was welcomed by the Principal, Seema Mehta and staff members. The school has been progressing by leaps and bounds and this happens to be the Eleventh Annual Day. Welcoming the Chief Guest, the host spoke of his illustrious record in academics and achievements as a writer of some outstanding literature.

The students then took over to enthrall one and all with their cute performances. Saraswati Vandana was performed by Sneha, Dipika, Smriti, Parul, Kiran, Arpita and Bharti, all from class three. Representing National Integration were the students of Pre Nursery who came dressed in attires of different states. ‘Kabila Dance’ was then performed with much ease and enthusiasm by Varun, Satvik, Harshit, Tanmay, Yuvraj, Vansh, Ritesh, Mukul, Harsh and Lakshit.

Parents were next transported to the sixties with lively dance performances on yesteryear numbers by the girls of KG Class, namely Niharika, Parul, Manvi, Kritika, Priyanka, Alia, Vanshika, Ekta and Devyanshi. On the other hand, “old is gold” fever was carried forward by the boys of the same class – Ayush, Lakshit, Naman, Abhinav, Sachin and Sudhanshu who danced on the foot tapping number ‘Meri Umar Ke Naujwano’.

A colourful and graceful ribbon dance was presented by the boys and girls of Class One – Bhumika, Saksham, Devanshi, Naman, Siddharth, Arushi, Subhanshu, Shruti, Jatin, Piyush, Sarika and Aniket on the lovely number ‘Itni Si Hansi’.

Aayushi, Vanshul, Tanvi, Karan, Anshika, Harshit, Ankita, Ayush, Dipika, Kashish, Kartik, Irwin, Nancy of Class II danced on ‘London Thumakda’ and it was the lovable ‘Papa Mere Papa’ that touched the hearts of one and all with fathers joining their children on stage. It was indeed a moment to cherish. ‘Pagdi Sambhal Jatta’ was the patriotic fervour brought on stage by the boys of Class III who were dressed in tricolours that added magic to the show.

Other popular numbers like ‘Kala Chashma’ were presented by Hansika, Dhruv, Lakshmi, Piyush, Twishi, Anuj, Rita and Yuvraj.
