Class 5 Assembly on the theme ‘World Senior Citizens Day’

Growing old is gold. It is a natural process and the universal truth of life. The World Senior Citizen's Day is celebrated on 21st August every year. The day is for celebrating the elderly by showing our gratitude, and increase awareness about the issues that affect them.

A short speech enlightened the students, about where and when the Senior Citizen’s Day was first celebrated. Students realised that the elders of the family and senior citizens need love, care, our time, appreciation, support, respect, and security.

The highlight of the assembly was a heart-warming skit, which conveyed the message about the sacrifices made by a grandfather. Art is a form of expressing emotion, that just what the children did, in their drawings. To liven up the assembly, a peppy old song,’Uthey sab ke kadam tara rum pum pum’… was rendered.
