On the auspicious occasion of Diwali, it was
time for the teachers of grade 5 to come forward and show to our kids, what
Diwali is all about. We only think of lamps (diyas), fire crackers, sweets and
fun when it comes to Diwali but it was time to also let the kids know the
essence of the Diwali.
It was even more special since the assembly was
also shared by the grade 3 kids. They graced the stage and made the assembly so
very special. After the confident grade 3 kids left, it was time for the
nervous yet excited grade 5 teachers’ turn to continue the assembly. The grade
3 kids had set a benchmark and therefore the teachers of grade 5 had to live up
to that expectation.
Thus, out on the stage were our teachers to
present a wonderful assembly for the students of junior school. The assembly started
with a high note where they talked about the essence of delightful Diwali
celebration.
Then that was followed by a beautiful prayer song.
The meaning of the prayer song was rather so strong. Subtly sung but the impact
it had on the audience was massive. Song is a humble request to the Almighty
for perpetual strength to keep having faith in ourselves. We as humans are
prone to making mistakes but we must see to it that we don’t falter from the
right path.
The song although sung in Hindi, it has no religious touch to it
keeping the secular ideology intact that, we have as Indians. Things like earn
people not wealth, respect others to receive one for yourself, are few other
clear messages that were there in the song.
However, the highlight of the morning assembly
was the dance that was performed by enthusiastic teachers of grade 5. It was
the magnum opus that they had saved for the last. The energy, fun, excitement
and thrill were oozing out of their short but wonderful dance. It made the
audience ‘jump out of their seat’ and the best part was that our kids loved it.
They had the most fun and I think, it was then the goal of the teachers was
achieved.
