26th September was a colourful and much enjoyed day as we celebrated Navratri and Dussehra in school. Children of classes III to VIII came dressed in lehengas, kurtas and pyjamas. Children from each class performed garba. The well-coordinated dances showed the efforts that went behind the preparation. The mentors and the non-academic staff couldn't hold themselves back for long and soon joined us. Class VI students Raghavendra, Tushita, Divya and Shrey anchored the programme and also shared information about Navratri and Dussehra.
After a break for snacks, we collected again for Dussehra celebration. Students of class V, Vishnu sir and Baghel sir had made the 'Ravan'. This Ravan was a symbol of all bad qualities that we wanted to burn away. So, on strips of paper we wrote the bad qualities that we wanted to rid ourselves of and stuck the strips on Ravan. As the Ravan was set afire, the strips with our bad qualities also turned to ashes. The message this Dussehra was that of victory of good over evil.
