“If you're brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello"
Paula Coelho has rightly summed up what Farewells are all about. DPS Aligarh bid adieu to the current batch of class 12 students with a grand farewell ceremony on December 24, 2022. With an array of events and surprises organised by students of class 11, this event saw a major participation and management skills of students, from organizing the schedule to planning titles and surprises for their seniors. While Siddhant Dubey and Somya Singh were crowned as Mr and Ms. Farewell, Shiva Mahi Mittal and Anchal Ahuja were crowned as Mr and Ms. DPS. The Principal Mrs. Arti Jha addressed the gathering and spoke about competitiveness, why it is important, and yet how it can ruin things in the long run if we're not too careful. She shared her best blessings with the outgoing students for their brilliant future and encouraged them to never give up in the face of defeat. She elaborated that the memories and unannounced lessons that they have learnt in these years of their life in school will pave the path for a brighter and more fulfilling future for each one of them. The heart broken students somehow controlled their tears because they were also elated for the new world that awaits them. Finally, they grooved to the peppy dance numbers with teary eyes, clicked photos with their favorite teachers with a broad smile, knowing after this they will just be a visitor to this premises, and ended the day with a sumptuous lunch.
