As part of the Republic Day celebrations, Mayor World School organised ‘India’s Glory on Wheels’ for the students of Mayor Galaxy and Grade I and II here on Sunday.

As a part of the patriotic ride, children visited the school in their well-decorated vehicles (car, scooter, bike, bicycle, etc) depicting the ethnicity and culture of the state of their choice. The families were dressed in traditional attires of different states of India. Chairman Rajesh Mayor, vice-chairperson Neerza Mayor, director Sarita Madhok, deputy vice-principal Charu Trehan and headmistress of Mayor Galaxy Aarti Gulati graced the occasion.

The young Mayorites looked all excited to return to their synagogue, their temple of learning. The patriotic fervour seemed to have warmed up the cold winter afternoon. An interaction with teachers, which the children had been missing for a long time, brought cheer to their faces. A tableau of Punjab was beautifully represented by Mayor World School. The students, doing bhangra and giddha, exhibited exuberant performances and charged the whole atmosphere. The ambient music and vibrant songs added to the charm and gaiety of the event.

In this first ever drive-through event, the students entered the school premises from gate No.2 and exited from gate No.3. The students enthralled the gathering with their beautiful words about their country, celebrating its unity in diversity and rich culture. Before leaving, they were supposed to leave a loving message in the drop box for their teachers. The children were also given small boxes of sweets as a token of love and appreciation. The event turned out to be a stupendous success.

The school management appreciated the enthusiasm displayed by students, parents and teachers. The day filled everyone’s hearts with nationalistic zeal.
