Mrs. Mala. B. formally welcomed the guests & commented that ‘Grandparents are there to help the child get into mischief they haven’t thought of yet……That’s why we are blessed for having them.’ A cultural programme was staged which started with a melodious song sung by the tiny tots of the primary section. A speech on the importance of grandparents was delivered by two students followed by a Hindi skit on being literate as –‘To learn is to change,To change is to develop & To develop is to succeed.’ A small programme was also hosted for the grandparents where they actively participated in the Needle & Thread Game & Antyakshari. The 1st & 2nd prize winners in the Needle & Thread game was awarded by the Principal. The participants of Antakshari were given Cadburys . An appetizing refreshment, but to the taste of the elderly people was also relished by the guests.

Viceprincipal Ms.V.S.Lakshmi addressed the guests & stressed that –‘Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do.They are sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children.’The programme concluded with a vote of thanks proposed by Mrs.S.Makan. The whole programme was a grand success as the grandparents enjoyed wholeheartedly & went happily for being honoured before their grand children. “It’s such a grand thing to be the mother of mother, that’s why the world calls her Grandmother.”
