Van Mahotsav Celebration 2025
“He who plants a tree, plants a hope.” – Lucy Larcom
Van Mahotsav was celebrated with great enthusiasm at St. Xavier’s High School, Sector-81, to raise awareness about the importance of trees and promote a greener, more sustainable future. The celebration was marked by a series of engaging activities that allowed students across various grades to connect with nature and understand their role in protecting the environment.
As part of the celebration, a special Story Reading Competition was organised for Grade 1 students. The objective was to help young learners develop a love for nature, understand the significance of trees, and build sensitivity towards environmental conservation. The students participated wholeheartedly, narrating beautifully illustrated stories that reflected their creativity and growing awareness about ecological issues.
The enthusiasm continued across other grades as well. Kindergarten students enjoyed a lively storytelling session followed by a fun colouring activity centred on the importance of trees. Upper Kindergarten children actively took part in a plantation drive, experiencing the joy of planting and nurturing new life. Meanwhile, Grade 3 students explored their artistic side through a delightful leaf printing activity, which also included meaningful discussions on nature and sustainability.
Adding a sweet touch to the day, World Chocolate Day was also celebrated with fun-filled, hands-on activities. Kindergarten children crafted their favourite chocolates using clay dough, while Upper Kindergarten students designed colourful candy models using paper and clay, making the day both joyful and creatively stimulating.
The celebrations were a beautiful blend of learning and enjoyment, helping young minds grow more conscious and caring towards the environment. The day served as a gentle reminder that small acts of awareness and kindness towards nature can lead to a brighter, greener tomorrow.
“Let us nurture nature, so that we can have a better future.” 🌿
