JSS PS celebrates the Festival of Lights – DIWALI
One of the most loved festivals of India, Diwali, was celebrated with
great zeal in the JSS Private School. The children of Grade 1 dived
enthusiastically into the spirit of Diwali. The buzzing started days
before when it was announced that children were to come in ethnic
wear. The morning of Tuesday 10th November saw children coming
decked up in colourful traditional dresses. Not to be left behind their
teachers came in vibrant sarees and salwar kameez.
The day saw a flurry of activities among the First Graders who started
the day by making Diwali cards for loved ones. And then they donned
their aprons and got really busy painting earthen diyas in the colours
of their fancy. Amidst a lot of cheerful chatters and spilling of paints
many beautifully decorated diyas were produced.
The sweets which the children brought from home were soon
distributed with lots of excitement. The teachers became the main
targets of the kids and were stuffed with sweets till they could take no
more. To shed away the extra calories gained all gathered in the
Auditorium for a dance. And things came really alive when the
popular numbers were played.
It was day well spent and the happy faces all around lit a thousand
diyas of hope and promise for the bright future of the institution.
