(At The Jam Session With The Director)
The school fete this year was held on 25th December. This much looked forward event was kicked off with a havan attended by the Director, the Principal and all teachers. It was a pleasant day and the school grounds with their new look added to the ambience of the venue. As always, the fete promised a wonderful time for all those who walked in with friends and families. There were rides for all age groups and these included camel ride which proved very popular with the children. The other regular rides which included the Train, The Caterpillar, The Columbus among others saw long lines of people waiting anxiously for their turn.
Besides these, the entire area had beautifully done up stalls of various sizes and interests. The games stalls where one could try one’s luck, book stalls, those selling accessories and some selling articles made of hand made paper, ice cream stalls and lots of food stalls that had food for every palate.
The venue for the Jam session was the school auditorium. As always it was the most popular haunt of the youngsters. They merrily took part in various dance and choreography competitions enjoying every moment. The Tambola corner was another major attraction and more and more people joined in as the games continued to be played.The irresistible games stalls included Shooting Balloons, Mind Fuels, Lucky Dip, Color Game etc. among others. Students of all age groups tried their luck at one or the other and it was evident that everyone was out to have a memorable holiday!
With all this fun and games it was only fair that the creativity of the students be showcased. The biggest attraction was the dance and music presentation put up by the students of different age groups and branches. These included traditional folk dances and modern fusion dance. As they swirled and twirled, the crowd joined in applauding their efforts and expertise. The presentation by the senior students on the popular beat of Jai Ho was a roaring success.
This year each class had put up a stall based on a particular theme. While some had exciting games, others had mind games posing a challenge to the curious visitor. All of them succeeded in attracting more and more people as the day wore on. Class XI and XII had put up a jumble sale and the visitors to the fete could not resist walking in to have a look at the wares on display. The Music Corner put up by class X teachers was a resounding success as people jostled with each other to get the song of their choice played for whomsoever they wanted to.
The Lucky Draws were keenly awaited and at the end of the day the Mega Lucky Draw was announced and that brought to an end the Annual Fete for the year 2011.
