"It is time to remove the darkness of ignorance within us and replace it with the light of hope and knowledge instead."
Diwali, the festival of lights that enlightens the hearts and brings joy to every heart, was celebrated at Presidium on the virtual platform. While celebrating Diwali, young Presidians of Nursery to Fifth Grade led the way in spreading the message of celebrating safe and pollution-free Eco-friendly Diwali. The program began with a meaningful prayer service highlighting the message of Diwali, invoking God's blessings. Teachers explained the importance of Diwali; the festival spiritually signifies the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil, and hope over despair. Students dressed up in colourful ethnic attire. They were engrossed in a beautiful craft activity wherein they decorated wall hangings and diyas using colour paper and various decorative materials. Students made rangoli, banners, and sweets, which added the perfect setting to the festivity.
