Onam Celebration at Our School: A Day of Joy and Unity..

This year, our school celebrated Onam, the vibrant harvest festival of Kerala, with great enthusiasm and joy. The air was filled with excitement as students and teachers came together to embrace the rich cultural heritage of this beautiful festival. The day was marked with various activities including the much-anticipated Athapookalam competition and delightful activities for our kindergarten (KG) students.

Athapookalam Competition

One of the highlights of our Onam celebration was the Athapookalam competition.

Our students showcased their creativity and artistic talents by designing stunning Pookalams using colorful petals, leaves, and other natural materials. Each class participated enthusiastically, with vibrant designs that reflected the spirit of Onam.

The judging panel, comprised of Art teacher and Principal Dr. Reji, admired the intricate designs and the effort each student put into their creations and selected the winners based on creativity, colour selection, perfection and neat presentation.

*KG Activities*

The celebration also included a variety of fun and engaging activities for our kindergarten students. To introduce the little ones to the cultural significance of Onam, teachers organized the display of the special Onam feast by including the traditional Kerala dishes and shared the same with all the kids. Students also enjoyed this celebration by dressing up like the legend of King Mahabali to exhibit the essence of Onam. The special Onam dance was performed by KG kids along with their teachers.

Our Onam celebration was not just an event; it was a beautiful gathering that embraced unity, creativity, and cultural diversity. We look forward to many more such celebrations in future with the cooperation of our parents.
