'Reuse your today so that you don't have to reduce your tomorrow.'
Our School observed Earth Day on 21 April 21'25, in great enthusiasm and a strong sense of eco-consciousness. The event centred around the theme, “Our Power, Our Planet", emphasising a shared responsibility to protect and preserve Mother Earth.
The celebration began with a motivating address by Principal, Ms Tania Joshi, who encouraged the students to become active stewards of the environment. This was followed by a lively Earth Day song presented by students, filling the atmosphere with new energy and hope. All those present then united in taking the Earth Day Pledge, committing themselves to make environmentally responsible choices.
To further promote awareness about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a variety of class-wise activities were conducted during the zero period. These hands'-on activities included a nature walk, ' Best-out-of-waste' creations, material recycling, and a campaign against single-use plastic. Each activity was designed to engage the young minds and instil in them the values of sustainability, conservation, and climate responsibility.
The aim was not just to observe Earth Day, but to educate, inspire, and empower students to take meaningful steps toward a greener future. The event successfully highlighted the importance of collective action in addressing the climate crisis and preserving our planet for future generations.
