REPUBLIC DAY CELEBRATION

REPUBLIC DAY The School celebrated the 68th Republic Day with all its solemnity and grandeur. The event showcased the pride taken in glorifying and celebrating the spirit of democracy and unity. The school echoed with patriotic fervour as the children indulged in a plethora of activities designed to mark the national occasion. The activities commenced right from the beginning of the month when the students wrote their wish on a Tricolour cutout on the topic ‘My India My Pride’ to embellish the Wishing Tree in their classrooms. Students from Montessori I to III soaked in patriotic fervour by creating some hand works like kites, peacocks, balloons, lotus etc in the hues of our National flag. They danced on some peppy patriotic songs and also learnt the lyrics of some of them. Students from classes I and II pasted pictures of our National Symbols in their scrapbook and got to know about them in detail. Class II also wrote a few lines on the topic ‘Republic Day’ in their scrap books to express their happiness on the occasion and honour the supreme sacrifice made by our freedom fighters. Young patriots from class III drew the National Symbols of our country on A4 size sheets and proudly displayed them in their classes. Ryanites from class IV declamated on the topic ‘Rights and Duties go hand in hand’ and emphasized that before we claim our rights we must render our duties towards the nation. Ryanites from class V learnt about the Preamble of our Constitution and wrote it in their scrapbook. They also made Tricolour placards and wrote an inspiring quote on patriotism on it. Further, class V participated in a Role Play competition, wherein they came dressed as the freedom fighter that inspires them the most. The celebration was at its peak on 26th January when the school organised a special assembly to mark the 68th Republic Day. The event was graced by the presence of Colonel Ashish Hooda (Sena Medlist), ACP Dharna Yadav (ACP Crime) nad Brig. Satyendra Dixit (Vishisht Sewa Medalist) and started in patriotic ambience with prayers rendered for our country’s progress, unity and security.

The cabinet members, the Cubs and Bulbuls and the four houses, namely: Mahatama Gandhi house, Indira Gandhi house, Jawaharlal Nehru house and Sarojini Naidu house saluted and pledged themselves to upholding the honour and integrity, diversity and uniqueness of their Nation. Further, the young Ryanites, added to the patriotic fervour with a classical dance performance titled ‘Rhythm of India’ and ‘Dance of Pride’ on a patriotic number. They also staged a fusion dance called ‘Mash Up Performance’ and got the audience grooving. The students from classes I & II presented invigorating presentations to sensitize the gathering about the role media plays in influencing our thought process and to highlight the need to deliver our duties before claiming the rights. The street play ‘Social Media’ and skit ‘Proud to be Indian’ were well received and applauded. The young nation lovers from Montessori recited poems on the topic ‘My India, My Pride’. The skillful Ryanites from Montessori proved their talent on wheels with an enchanting Skating performance. The assembly and all the performances were deeply appreciated by the guests who encouraged the Ryanites to put forth their best in everything they do. The celebration was a reflection of India’s cultural diversity and the melange of activities conducted created an atmosphere of national pride.
