"Certainly, the art of writing is the most miraculous of all things man has devised"

And how can our poets be left behind...Students of class III created and recited wonderful poems to wish their school on it's birthday... This inter class activity resulted in mass participation and helped all to overcome their stage fright.. Many came up with excellent props and recited their poems with proper pronounciation, intonation and gave a lovely tune to it. It was amazing to hear them reciting it so well with actions and rhyme.

CHILDREN'S DAY

"A DAY OF BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES AND CELEBRATION OF INNOCENCE"

Back in school, all of us would wait for Children's Day, where we would feel special and enjoy the day of fun and frolic. It was a reminder of what a privelege it was to be a kid in a world filled with endless possibilities, one in which we could dream endlessly and live as though the world is a stage and we could play any role they wanted. 

In order to celebrate the childhood of our Salwanians and fill their day with sweet memories, innocuous desires and unconditional happiness we celebrated THEIR day with great enthusiasm.It started with a Magic show that was organized in the school foyer a day before, and left them awestruck and amazed. The magic words and the distinctive style of the magician kept everybody astounded. All of them could not stop clapping as he unfolded his magic tricks one by one. The lively and fun filled session of the magician was a great success.

                           

This was followed by a valuable STORY TELLING SESSION by Ms. Sanjum Sethi on 14.11.17, wherein the students thoroughly enjoyed her narration. The appropriate use of voice modulation and body language infused passion, enhanced imagination and expression, and encouraged the young souls for creative thinking.

As a token of love and blessings from the school, each child was given refreshment and a handmade card from their class teachers.

"In our thirst for exploring new horizons of knowledge and learning new languages, we should not forget our mother tongue," was the message given by the students of SJS on 4th October, 2017.
 Hindi is our national language, a language which gives us the identity of being an Indian and stand apart from the crowd of countless many.To celebrate the origin and promote the appropriate usage of our mother tongue, SJS celebrated Hindi Diwas with complete spirit and gusto. As part of observing 'HINDIDIWAS,' a special assembly marked the occasion with the students highlighting the importance of Hindi in our lives. The main attraction of the programme was the role enactment by the students of class V, who were dressed up as famous Hindi authors like GULZAR, SUBHADRA KUMARI CHAUHAN, AMRITA PRITAM etc and beautifully recited their poems to apprise the students about them followed by some interesting facts about them by Ms. Madhu.
