1st October
‘The best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elder person’ – Andy Rooney
In the year 1990, the United Nations declared 1st October 2016 as ‘World Elders Day’.
Happy the home that is blessed with the presence of elders… and it is only right that we honour them wholeheartedly.
As is the practice every year, the students of Divine Child High School (SSC & CBSE sections) invited their grandparents to our school to bless and thank them for their love. The morning began with prayers invoking God’s blessings on the elders.
The elders were amused with the entertainment programme of song and dance put up by the students. They were also moved to hear students speak about grandparents.
Refreshments were served and a small token of appreciation was gifted to each grandparent.
The programme closed with the singing of the National Anthem.
