To highlight the importance of reading in school, DEAR (Drop Everything and Read) activity was conducted. Students of all classes were given a period to read. Reading books is missing in the online mode of learning where all are forced to read everything on the screen. Children were asked to bring their books during the online class and were told to read aloud. In some classes, they also narrated stories to each other. The DEAR is conducted at the school as a routine activity to instill the habit of reading among the students. Principal Poonamjit Kaur appreciated the efforts put in by the students and teachers.
