The little things we do on Christmas Day, Gives us the memories to be cherished forever. So, to relish some of these memories a class wise Christmas corner decoration for classes IX – XI was organized in the school.

The students very attractively decorated the corners in their own distinctive ways. There were lighted Christmas trees, snow man; a few classes presented the nativity scene i.e. the birth of Jesus Christ.
