Father’s Day celebration at UWCEC!

The first superhero children meet in their life is their father. During the growing years of a child a father works tirelessly day and night to give him/her the best upbringing. He is the one who takes care, loves unconditionally, safeguards and takes complete responsibility of the family.

Keeping this in mind Father’s Day was celebrated in a unique way with the students at UWCEC. The children were shown a PowerPoint presentation as to why we celebrate Father’s Day and how we should make our dads feel special and express our love and gratitude to them for everything they do for us.

The children made a father puppet and expressed their love and respect to their superhero. Few made greeting cards and Thank you cards for their fathers. A special Father’s Day celebration was organized for the Sr.kg children who were in school and invited their fathers. The teachers had organized games and activities for each father-child duo and took many photos to cherish the memories of this day.

This is how the little Lawrentians paid an ode to their fathers.
