The Book Fair organized by Scholastic India Pvt. Ltd added fervour to the festivity and offered an array of catchy books to the students and visitors. The book stall, put up by the school librarians, invited the students to exchange their old story books with the story books of their friends and turned out to be a great hit among the students. This initiative, titled ‘Bring One Take One’ not only gave the young readers a chance to enjoy reading different types of books, but also ignited the feeling of sharing among them.
The costumed character, Clifford, the Big Red Dog remained the main attraction for the tiny tots throughout the week . The students showed overwhelming response to its presence. They played around and got clicked with this famous character. The fun and frolic filled the school premises with vibrancy and pleasant laughter and giggles. To sum up, it can be asserted that the Book Week was a successful school event. Kudos to everyone who put the event together!
