Delhi Public School, Udaipur  

Children’s Day was celebrated with great zeal and fervor at DPS too. A special assembly was conducted to make this day memorable for the students in which all the teachers performed on the stage.

A classroom scene was presented in which a few teachers dressed themselves as students and enacted what students really do in classrooms; how they create indiscipline, disobey teachers, give excuses for not doing homework etc. All this was presented to give them a message that they are loved by teachers but they should improvise on a few aspects to make school a temple of learning in real sense.
