Saying goodbye…. A last farewell, saying adieu, goodbye,
adios, au revoir, etc…. they may be said in different ways but they all have
the same meaning! On the last day of their school life, the 10th
graders of our school got their farewell on 25thFebruary. The Farewell was called ‘Spotlight’. It
started off with a welcome speech given by two students of Class IX. Then we
had the ramp walk and had the 10th graders talk about their journey
through out their school life!
This was followed by an award ceremony. Each one was given
an individual award. The titles of Mr
and Mrs Orchids were given to Sai Rohit and Archana Dinesh respectively. A
dance was performed by the 9th class girls. Our principal Mrs Mona
Mehdi then addressed a few words to the students and stressed about the
importance of values learned at school and wished them good luck for the
future. It was a very inspirational and motivating speech.
We later had the cake cutting ceremony. Last but not the
least, a video based on the 13 years of their school life was shown. In the
end, another video, prepared by the students of Class 10, about saving the girl
child was also screened. It had all of us in tears.
It was an emotional, fun-filled afternoon and, we know that
we’re going to miss them a lot!
