Since the year 1999 is being observed as the International year of the Senior citizens, our Headmistress, Mrs Gouri Ishwaran decided to dedicate a function to the grandparents who exhibit keen interest in their grandchildren's activities at school.

In keeping with the festive mood and the spirit yuletide, the students of Grade II of Delhi Public School, East of Kailash, presented a cultural programme depicting snippets conveying the message of Christmas, on January 12th,1999.

It was a momentous day for the grandparents. There was excitement and jubilation writ large on their faces as they adorned the welcome badges given to them on their arrival to the school. They watched with abated breath their darling grandchildren perform.

The function commenced with a welcome address delivered by a student followed by a special welcome speech given by our Headmistress. The cultural programme started with a song and dance sequence in which little girls attired as angels and stars danced to the soul stirring hymn "Silent Night".

Little boys dressed as Santa Claus and Rudolph enthralled the audience with their foot tapping Reindeer dance.

The other items included a nativity tableau depicting the birth of Jesus Christ and a scintillating Goan carnival song.

The cultural programme concluded with tea and snacks being served to our honoured guests.

It was a time for grandparents to share with each other as well as with the children.

The overwhelmed grandparents who had braved the biting cold thanked Mrs Ishwaran, our Headmistress for a delightful morning.
