The 64th Independence Day was celebrated with great fervour on 12 August 2011 at St. Mark’s Girls Sr. Sec .School. The students of class VII hosted the whole program.
The parents of class VII were thrilled to hear the wonderful patriotic song and be the part of silent National Anthem. The play staged showed our great leaders in the heaven feeling remorseful to see their country infested with corruption. Eventually the play gave a very wise message to the audience, making them ponder over how the citizens themselves are somehow responsible for this evil.
The program proved that Independence Day is more about understanding the freedom struggle and political unrest that the country went through than just feeling a sense of freedom.
The chairperson of the school, Ms. Anjali Aggarwal, gave vote of thanks. She said that the program was very inspiring and motivated the students for having a sense of pride for being born in the free country.
The program ended with a patriotic feeling and everyone taking a pledge to bring honour to their country. |
