God could not come to earth to feed and take care of every child. So, he sent ‘Mother’ in place of him. She is considered to be the pillar of her child’s life. Whatever we have in our life is largely because of our mother. It was a fun filled day for the students of Grade I, II and III as the children very enthusiastically participated in the MOM & ME – FIRELESS COOKING ACTIVITY held on 16-05-17 to mark and celebrate Mother’s Day. It was heartening to see the children bond and help their mothers in preparing the dish and even more delightful to hear the children explain their dish and speak beautiful lines for their mothers!

“GOD COULD NOT BE EVERYWHERE, THEREFORE HE CREATED MOTHERS”!
