Anchoring

Opening and Warm Welcome

A very pleasant evening to one and all present here.

Respected Chief Guest, Honored Guest of the Day, Esteemed Members of the Management, Respected Principal Sir/Madam, Vice Principal Sir/Madam, Our Beloved Teachers, Dear Parents, and My Lovely Friends — a very warm and cheerful welcome to all of you.

On behalf of our entire school family, I feel extremely honored and delighted to welcome you all to this grand celebration of our Annual Day. Today is not just an event; it is a celebration of learning, creativity, discipline, and the hard work of our students and teachers throughout the year.

An Annual Day is a special occasion where memories are created, talents are showcased, and achievements are celebrated. It is the day when classrooms extend to the stage, and books transform into expressions of art, music, and confidence.

Ladies and gentlemen, fasten your seat belts, because this evening promises to be a beautiful journey filled with performances, emotions, inspiration, and pride.


Lighting of the Lamp

To begin this auspicious evening, we believe in invoking the blessings of the Almighty.

I kindly request our respected Chief Guest, Guest of Honour, Principal Sir/Madam, and dignified members of the Management to please come forward for the Lighting of the Lamp.

Lighting a lamp is not merely a ritual. It symbolizes the removal of darkness and the spread of knowledge, wisdom, and positivity. It marks the beginning of a journey towards enlightenment.
