'A Salute to Our Roots'
Grandparents are the
family’s greatest treasure, the founders of a loving legacy, the greatest
storytellers, and the keepers of tradition. Through their special love
and care, grandparents keep a family close at heart. To honour their presence
in our lives, Blue Bells Public School celebrated Grandparents' Day on Friday,
October 01, 2021, in the online mode.
The programme was divided
into two parts- a story-telling session by the grandparents in the morning,
followed by a full-fledged cultural event organised by the students for their
grandparents in the afternoon.
The students of Classes Nursery to
UKG attended story narration session by their grandparents .The session
was full of fun, joy and love which helped creating memories for the
little ones. The children were overjoyed to have their grandparents
narrate stories. The grandparents narrated the stories in a very interesting
manner and shared their experiences with the little ones .
In the afternoon, the
cultural programme began on the Zoom Webinar Platform with a Welcome Address
extended by Ms. Arpita Acharya, Principal (off). The students were excited to
present a mesmerising song, followed by a power packed dance performance and a
heart-touching skit highlighting the role and importance of the grandparents in
our lives. They left the spectators spellbound and thoroughly mesmerized by
their performances. The icing on the cake was the set of especially
curated and collated activities performed by the students and their
grandparents which showcased the special bond they shared. These activities
included singing a song, dancing together, sharing details about the family
members from generations past through making of a Family Tree, spending quality
time together etc. The grandparents shared
some precious moments with the audience and relived their childhood with their
grandchildren. The students presented Thank You cards to their lovely
grandparents as an expression of gratitude for everything they do for them.
