The tiny tots of preschool put up a wonderful show on 4th Feb,2016 and enthralled their proud parents. In a colourful display of befitting costumes, the tiny darlings sang, danced, played and acted on stage. The well-coordinated events held the audience in awe as one by one the items unfolded onstage. The enthusiasm and energy reverberated in the entire Convention Hall with enough foot tapping and applause doing justice to the entire show. Kudos to the organisers, teachers, children and parents for the delightful day which touched the heart and left us asking for more. It takes a lot of effort to put together such a grand show and we are thankful to all who made this day possible.

Like every year the famous International Kite Festival was held at Sabarmati River Front. 
Our enthusiastic children participated in gamut of activities and proved their excellence in competitions. 
First event was the “Treasure Hunt”. It seemed as if an actual treasure hunt was going on with children literally scavenging for the clues which were scattered in an evidently random but actually quite organized manner. The level of difficulty added to the thrill leaving the children exhausted but happy. Securing First position was an added bonus!
The second event was “Quiz”. The questions asked were answered smartly by our team and they secured Second position. After the event the children were taken kite flying where they interacted with the kite flyers of different countries. They also tried out their hands at flying some world class kites.
Third event was Painting Competition on theme of “Kite Festival” where children unveiled their Painting talent. 
In Origami workshop children learned new tricks of paper folding and enjoyed it too. 
During the last event children learned the art of making Kites on their own. 
As children were taken to Sabarmati Riverfront for each event, they could see the Kites made by International flyers.

This month young Yuva Brigade of Udgam School for Children put in a lot of effort and collected Kites for the under privileged children. 
The joy of collecting with that feeling of satisfaction of doing something for the society and also distributing to the joyful children just before the much celebrated festival of Uttarayan was a real treat for them. We are thankful to students and parents from donating kites. 
See the happy and satisfied faces of our students while distributing the kites.
