Remembering the words of Rudyard Kipling ‘God could not be everywhere, therefore he made mothers’, the beautiful day dedicated to all the mothers as Mother’s Day was celebrated at Anchorage Pre-School, Shimla here today at Himland West Hotel. The theme for the celebration was Spring Delight, signifying happy ambience, which was full of beautiful pink and orange colours. Keeping the cheerful theme in mind parents also turned up for the occasion wearing dazzling colours. School Principal Vibha Kanwar warmly greeted the parent on this beautiful occasion and introduced all to the events lined up for the evening.
The fun started with a special song dedicated to all the mothers, Tu Kitni Achi Hai O Ma sung by Sanvi Rekhi along with her father. Then the tiny tots welcomed all the parents by dancing on a popular song Welcome, which was then followed by another vivacious performance by little girls on the much popular song Chittiyan Kaliyaiyaan. Next came a lively act by kids on the song Zubbi Dubbi. The young performers were filed with joy and vigour to perform in front of their parent. Names of a few little ones who performed on this special occasion are Sanvi Rekhi, Sanvi Nagta, Lia, Arshiya, Akshipitika, Virangna, Vedansh, Asthik, Akshita, Shivansh and Samrit among others.
Matching the creativeness and enthusiasm of kids, parents also stepped up and performed on various songs and sung for their children. Many fun games were played by the parents including folding paper dance, in which the parents were suppose to dance on a sheet of paper, which was folded each time the music stopped. There was a talent round for parents in which the tiny tots also got a chance to enjoy the performances of their parents and see them in a new fun avatar. The best performing mother and father were bestowed with title of Spring Queen and Spring King, the winners of the competition were Mr Sharma, father of Katiyaan Sharma and Mrs Sehra, mother of Aastik. The children had wonderfully decorated tiny pots for their mothers under the guidance of their teachers, seeds were sown in these pots by each mother and child duo, which were presented to the mothers.
Sharing with us her thoughts about importance of celebrating Mothers’ Day, Principal Kanwar said, “It is important for the kids to understand the importance of mother in their life and make them feel special on this one day. Through these functions the children are able to express their love and emotions they have for their mothers. Mothers play a very important part in each child’s life, it is very important that children learn to appreciate the efforts of his/her mother. Not only the kids but also both the parents get the platform to celebrate this occasion with gallons of joy”.
During her vote of thanks Principal Vibha said, “I thank all the parents for taking out time from their busy schedules for being with us today. I would also like to thank all the teachers who have put in an immense amount of hard work and to put up such an amazing show. We try to involve new innovative methods to teach these young children about the vital moral values and respecting elders and parents as especially mothers play a very important part in shaping a child’s future and inculcating values. Lastly, I would like to wish all the mothers present here today a very Happy Mother’s Day”.
The event ended on a high note giving out the message of how extraordinary and great all mothers are and one should always remember to appreciate their efforts and reciprocate all the love they shower on us !!!
