Special Assembly - II J

"A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life." 
 Raksha Bandhan is a significant and joyous celebration of love, protection and unity. It is a time to cherish relationship, create memories and strengthen bond between brothers and sisters. With this in mind the students of Grade 2 J conducted a  special assembly on 21August to celebrate Raksha bandhan and to reflect upon the timeless relationship between brothers and sisters.
The assembly commenced with a beautiful quote and a warm welcome to respected Headmistress and Coordinator ma’am. Children explained the significance of the festival and how the eternal bond between a brother and sister is celebrated in India. It was followed by a melodious song by our tiny tots. This sets the tone for the celebrations of this special day.
The children also performed a skit where they shared the roots of Rakshabandhan in ancient mythology when Goddess Lakshmi, tied a sacred thread on the wrist of king Bali, ensuring his protection and prosperity.  The skit also showed a new and unique way of celebrating Rakshabandhan through Eco friendly and plantable Rakhi’s.
The assembly ended with a wonderful dance performance followed by an encouraging and motivating address by respected Headmistress ma’am.
