"Freedom is the kite's response to the wind"
On 13th January 2017 morning, on the eve of Makarsankranti, finding the wind favorable, the students of Podar World School, Sherkhi were taken to the Presidency club ground, to celebrate the kite flying festival. It was a spectacular sight to see the students of all Classes (1 to 11) spread on the sprawling ground with their class teachers and class mates cheering the children who raised the kites to the heavens. The students of senior classes not only enjoyed themselves but also helped the tiny tots of Pre primary and the Middle school students in raising their kites to the sky. All the teachers, the Co-ordinators, the nurse with a first - aid box ready and a few didis (helpers) kept vigilant of the students and attended them as and when required. The Principal, Ms. Preeta Pillai went round the ground and even tried her hands at flying the kites as she moved from one class to another. Students enjoyed flying the kites and it was indeed splendid watching the serene blue sky dotted with vivid splashes of color in the kites in variety of hues, shapes and colours. Thus it was a very engaging and interesting activity and was enjoyed every bit of it by both the teachers and learners.
