SPORTS DAY

SPORTS DAY CELEBRATION

Date: 13-02-2015

Venue: Vivekananda Kendra Vidyalaya Matric.Hr.Sec.School

                A healthy body results in a healthy mind.  A good diet alone will not bring out good physical fitness.  The body needs exercise in the form of sports.  A sport is also a type of education.  It helps the children to mingle with others, work on the principles of give and take, in a real sense they also get to know about a lot of games.  More over active participation in sports help the children by giving them an opportunity to work as a team player, feel a sense of accomplishment,  set goals, face challenges and cultivate the mind set to take on defeats.

          In our school, sports day was celebrated in a grand manner.  On that happiest occasion we initiated our porgramme by an invocation song sung by VII standard students.  The welcome address was presented by Vaishnavi of VIII standard.

          Our Physical Education teacher kum. Vijaya Nirmala delivered a speech in English about the importance of the day.

          The students of VII and VIII standard sang a beautiful song related to this function.  We had an eminent person Sri. S.Soma Sundaram, Principal of Vivekananda Arts and Science College, Agasteeswaram as our Chief Guest who addressed the gathering.
