JUNIOR SCHOOL ANNUAL DAY
Annual Day function is always the most awaited event in our school, which is celebrated with great joy and excitement. It is celebrated every alternate year. We usually celebrate the annual day for the whole school. But this time it was decided to have two Annual Days. One for Juniors and another for Seniors. The junior school annual day was scheduled for 1st December, 2009 but due to the disturbance in the State, it was postponed and everyone was sad and upset. After a long wait it was finally held on 12th December, 2009. The parents and students were very happy with the programme. The Annual Day celebrations went on for three and half (3 ½) hours. The evening show started by 5.30 p.m and ended by 9.00 p.m. By 5.30 the V.I.Ps occupied the chairs on the dais and singers began the show with Vandemataram.
Our Director Sri V.Nageshwar Rao, spoke on the occasion and his words were very thought provoking. He said that he came up with the idea of two Annual Days as he felt juniors were not getting equal chance to perform on the stage as seniors did. He felt that every one in the school should be an all-rounder. He advised the students to improve all the skills to succeed in life, as only bookish knowledge was not sufficient. Then he spoke about the language. He said that English is not everything. He wanted that every child should know Hindi - Well, English – Better and be Excellent in Mother Tongue. He also spoke about the burden that the children bring to the school and the necessity to reduce it. He then ended his speech by reporting the progress made during the last one year.
The cultural programme started with Vinayaka Stuthi. The show was a blend of a variety of items like plays, skits, songs, instrumental music, jokes, dances, etc. The dances presented by the Tiny Tots of K.G. section were a feast to the eyes. The patriotic dance “My name is Madhuri….” awakened the patriotic spirit embedded in each one present there. The folk dance “Laire Laire….” enthralled one and all.
The dances “pachaga perigee”, “tandanana,” “bharatamataku jejelu”, “telugu bhasha”, “bhangra” entertained one and all. These dances were based on different themes like pollution, patriotism, devotion etc,.
The plays in English, Telugu and Hindi won thunderous applause from the audience. Aishwarya of IIID in the role of Dharmaiah’s wife attracted the attention of everyone in the audience making them spellbound. In fact every student involved in the plays portrayed their acting skills to the best of their ability and were admired by everyone. The Joint Collector of the District Mrs. Vakati Karuna who watched the entire 3 ½ hours programme was full of praise for each and every item.
The whole programme was a stupendous success and each and every student and teacher took an active part in it. What made the programme so good was the punctuality maintained. Considering the difficulty involved in training the little ones, no amount of praise is enough for the members of staff who put in two months of hard work and their role is appreciable.
The Director congratulated and complimented the students, staff members, Vice-Principal and Principal for their efforts and admitted that it was the best Annual Day that we have ever had.
