The icing on the cake was the skit performed by students of class II which showcased the special bond shared by grandparents and grandchildren.
A series of fun games like Garland making, Balls in the basket, plaits making and straws in the bun were organised for the grandparents. The children were very excited to see their grand fathers and grand mothers participate in the games and cheered them wholeheartedly. The grandparents were very sportive and brought out the child in them through their active participation. The fond affection for their grandchildren reflected in the very fact that they held the hands of their respective grandchild while participating some of the games. The children seemed like a motivation factor for them to give their best. The whole campus was abuzz with joy to see the happiness ushering on the faces of all the grandparents. All the games were thoughtfully planned by the teachers so as to make this day special and memorable for all the grandparents.
