73rd Independence Day at our school with passion

Paying tribute to our unsung heroes who made independence possible for India by laying down their lives, the celebration commenced with renditions of patriotic songs. It filled the entire atmosphere with a patriotic fervour. Following this was a dance performance which showcased independent India's new vision, its growth and empowerment.

On this noble day, Chairman Mr. T. P. Aggarwal and Director, Mrs. Anjali Aggarwal endowed a generous amount to the SOS Society of India to help uplift the underprivileged.

'Diwali hai naam khushiyan baatne ka...'

Taking a cue from this, St. Mark’s School, Janakpuri organized a Diwali Exhibition in the school premises to contribute to the welfare of children in NGO's-Muskaan and Prerna Niketan. The exhibits included various festive items like diyas, candles, rangoli making kits and many more. The Diwali products on display were prepared by people with intellectual disabilities and the money obtained will be used for their welfare.

The students as well as staff members enthusiastically purchased items. The exhibition was a success and was an exciting start to the festive feeling.

Anti-Plastic Committee

The Anti-Plastic Committee Members of our school had a meeting with the School Principal in which the student members gave a presentation highlighting the plastic usage in our school and how to fight this environmental demon.

Principal, acquainted the students with how plastic came into existence and how it has become a serious threat to our world. She suggested students to reuse and recycle the resources. The students felt greatly motivated after the discussion and made utilitarian items like containers, gift bags, pouches, sling bags, jholla bags using recycled paper, t-shirts, socks and much more.

FIT India Plogging Run

FIT India Plogging Run was organised for the students of classes IV to VIII. Vice-Principal, delivered a speech to discourage the use of single-use plastic and discussed the downsides of its usage. Facts and figures were shared with the students highlighting how plastic has become a major source of pollution and how it is impacting our biodiversity. Students took a pledge to completely shun the use of single-use plastic.

To spread further awareness among the masses, students, teachers, parents and volunteers gathered early morning in the school premises to conduct the FIT India Plogging Run. They all jogged on the Janakpuri Marg, a stretch of 2 kilometers, picking up plastic waste and distributing pamphlets to bring awareness in the neighbourhood.

Plogging Run was carried out in full spring promoting 'FIT India and Clean India' movement. This initiative was highly appreciated by the residents of the vicinity.

Swachhata Hi Seva

Continuing with our constant efforts to do our bit for the society by raising awareness amongst students, the 'Swachhata Hi Seva' Campaign this time focused on Plastic Waste Management.

Germs, Germs go away..I wash my hands everyday!!

Do you know that keeping hands clean is one of the most important steps we can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others? Also, many diseases and conditions are spread by not washing hands with soap and clean, running water.

Keeping this detail in mind, Handwash Day was observed in our school. Students of Classes III to V were shown videos about the proper method of washing hands and the importance of maintaining personal hygiene. Students learned how germs and bacteria can harm us. The teachers propagated the idea of carrying sanitizer or washing hands before and after meals amongst students.

Here's to cleaner, healthier children!

"Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed." - Mahatma Gandhi

Keeping in mind World Nature Conservation Day , 'Vasudha' the Eco Club of our school organized a tree-plantation drive last week. Students from classes III to IX participated enthusiastically in this activity.

Saplings like Jamun(Blackberry/Plum), Papdi(Cattappa), Heena, Mulberry, Cotton, Champa etc.were sown.

The eco-warriors pledged to improve the environment and help by doing their bit. Nurturing nature for more green interactions was the conscious motive behind the whole exercise!!
