“The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it”
Earth Day is a proof that even one person can make a global impact in a positive way. Echoing the same, Delhi Public School, Aligarh celebrated “The Earth Day” through a series of activities on 22nd April. The whole school, whether it was the students, support staff, teachers, guards, admin staff or helpers took part in this “Go- Green initiative”. The celebration commenced with the morning assembly, conducted by the students of Class VIII B, where the importance of preserving Earth was explained to the students through various mediums. Principal Ms. Arti Jha, advised the children to reuse, recycle and avoid using anything that harms our planet. The assembly concluded with a thoughtful note to preserve natural resources, and contribute our bit to the same. The students were reminded of simple doable actions towards saving Mother Earth. On this day, we try to plant a sapling or a plant which helps us from avoiding global warming.
Array of creative events were organized with a view to sensitize the children about the conservation of natural resources and to motivate them to do their bit towards making their planet even more beautiful. Our Environmental conservationists from the Kindergarten and the Primary Wing contributed by doing various activities to create maximum awareness and impact.
