“Talent wins games, but teamwork wins championships”
Coupled together, the tiny tots of classes Nursery to II ran through various obstacles, taking out pebbles in their shoes, to reach the finishing line in The League of Legends, organised by Delhi Public School Aligarh, as an initiative of Fit India Movement launched in 2019 by the Government of India, on 24 February 2024.
13 events with over 200 adorable yet determined and tenacious athletes won our hearts as they battled through Picking & Keeping the ball, Baton Relay, Ready for school, Obstacle race, Ice-cream race, One Ball balancing on glass, among several others. The most popular races among students remained Pitching the Stumps, and Dragging the ball, whereas the parents who participated in the Surprise races enjoyed them thoroughly too.
With over 10 special races for the parents, we saw them cheer, jump, hoot and shout the loudest first for their children, and then for the fellow parents who enthusiastically joined in the races. The entire playground echoed with loud cheer, laughter and elated faces as they breezed through the storm with their partners. The event ended with certificate distribution to all the students and a small token of gratitude to all the parent-winners.
Highlight of the game? For one more time, we managed a 100% participation from these classes!
