A New Year is knocking at our door again and it’s already time to prepare for New Year celebrations. The students of grade V-A conducted the morning assembly on Thursday 29^th December 2016 on the topic ‘A New Beginning’. The brightful day began with Lord’s Prayer and a beautiful thought by Anusha and Simran which summarized the true essence of celebrating New Year.

It is rightly said that the New Year is traditionally a time to reflect on the year gone by and to make resolutions for a positive year ahead. Keeping this in mind, the Xavierians performed a skit on New Year’s Resolutions where they emphasized on ‘Accomplishing the Incomplete Goals’ of 2016. They also spoke about ‘Grooming the Green Thumb’ where each one should plant one tree in 2017. The poem recited by Vedant on ‘New Year’s Reflections’ was appreciated by all. A special prayer was performed by Nainika seeking almighty’s blessings for the New Year.

The assembly concluded with a vibrant dance performance on the song ‘Happy New Year’ and a thoughtful quote by Benjamin Franklin:

‘Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbours, and let every new year find you a better man.’

The effort put in by the students and the class teacher was applauded by the Principal and the Senior Coordinator. They conveyed their best wishes to the students and the staff members for the coming year.
