This was followed by a dance performance by some of the children of the school which received deafening applause from the audience.

We had bought cake for the children and it was cut by the Principal of Reena Memorial Samrakshana School after which it was distributed to all the staff and students. The cake cutting was followed by fun games for the kids. The programs concluded after the game session. The teachers and children thanked our students for spending the day with them. The experience of having celebrated a Christmas at Samrakshana School is one that each of our students will hold close to their hearts. It was a truly enriching and learning experience for them.
