Millennium National School

Independence Day – 2015

Team Millennium gathered in large number along with guests, parents and children to pay respect and homage to our motherland India, who celebrated her 69th year of Independence on 15th Aug 2015.

 

Remembering our missile man Late Dr APJ Kalam and his words ‘The country doesn’t deserve anything less than success from us. Let us aim for successes ‘, we started our celebration with determined teamwork, as the sons and daughters of this land, which can only lead to national accomplishments and pride. Students of Std 7 & 8 marched their way towards the flag-pole with their steady steps and strong hearts.

 

The Indian national flag, symbolizing our nation’s thoughts, conduct, people and their beliefs, was hoisted by our senior teacher Mrs. Sanjeevani Bapat.
‘Jan-Gana-Mana’ the Anthem of our Nation was heard in unison as everyone joined the school choir. This choir from Std 8 then immaculately sang ‘Jayostute’, a song composed by Veer Sawarkar to pay tribute to our unsung heroes – the brave soldiers of our nation!

 

To keep the flame of patriotism burning in our hearts, and to make us realize our duties and responsibilities as citizens of the nation, the students of Std 8 performed a street play, written and directed by our drama teachers. The impressive play reminded one about the core values and what father of our nation Mahatma Gandhi had said ‘Be the change you want to see in the world’.

 

The ceremony concluded with a vote of thanks by the event anchor, Mrs. Prajakta Bhide, as everyone returned to their homes full of pride, respect and an urge to do something in their own way towards the motherland India.
