Earth Day Celebration at SJS Naraina

“We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.”

Believing in this very thought, Salwan Junior School, Naraina celebrates Earth Day every year to instill in children the importance of preserving our planet for future generations. This year it was celebrated on a wider scale and extended as ‘Go Green’ week from 22-26 April 2014.

A special assembly was organized where the choir group of the school presented melodious rhythms on mother earth followed by a power point presentation and ‘save our earth pledge.’

The entire school was submerged into Reduce, Reuse and Recycle mode wherein children from classes KG- V took extra care and responsibility of using dustbins, minimizing the waste and keeping the classes and surroundings clean. An entire gamut of activities was conducted in the school to educate children about Earth and preservation of resources. 

We have also recently tied up with an NGO ‘Family of Disabled’ wherein the thought of ‘joy of giving’ is instilled in our children by donating their newspapers every Wednesday and contributing to the society in our small way. 

Saraswati Puja

At Salwan, We bring up not just students, but humans who are ready to shoulder their responsibility towards their community and society. On the occasion of "Saraswati Pooja," as a part of our community outreach programme, on February 4th, 2014 we invited students from our neighbouring MCD-Nursery school to give away our old, redundant yet usable furniture to them. The objective was to instil in students empathy for the needy and less privileged.

The occasion of Saraswati Pooja, was apt and the most suitable one as their gesture also conveyed to the students the importance of being to the service of Education and being a part of the change which will help everyone grow together.

Present amongst the esteemed gathering were, Ms. Nisha Obheroi, Principal and AVSM, VSM, Sh. A. JAVED, Honourable Director of the school, under whose guidance and leadership, this event was organised.

It is but Human to be there for each other,

It is but Human to be kind, empathetic and loving,

It is but Human to serve humanity.
