Nostalgic. . . . is what most of the parents who turned up for the Std 1 to 4 sports day felt as they assembled on the ground. Parents in huge numbers were present on that day to participate in the games being conducted, much to the joy of the Sports staff of Millennium.
The sports arena, uniformly watered and marked, stood confidently to host all the parents. Being on the ground in itself felt energetic. The lively morning assembly of parents and children, started with the National Anthem and hoisting of the school flag. Sports Incharge – Mr. Ramdas Lekawale briefed the parents about the various competitions and their venues.
The parent-child duo tackling with the individual games like hopping over the cones, ball passing drill, dribbling drill etc. was a treat to watch. The instructions being exchanged, parent to child and vice-versa revealed the openness and the command in their relationship.
The cheerful atmosphere continued with the team games of Volley ball and Throw ball.
The much awaited event of the day for the students – the prize distribution took place at the hands of our Director Mr. Anvit Phatak, Vice Principal Secondary Mrs. Sujata Kulkarni, Vice Principal Primary Mrs. Swati Sardesai. Anvit Sir appreciated the parents for their huge response and stated that such events prepare a strong foundation to the parent-school bonding in Millennium.
The entire Sports Staff were efficiently handling the whole event, right from the enquiry desks, giving out instructions, coaching the parents, judging the matches and organizing the prize distribution.
Kudos to the Sports Staff, parents and children for making this Sports Day a part of the memoir!
