The Importance of Celebrating Festivals in School

Children will remember an important day only if they are told what the occasion signify, making them aware of the world in a more fun way. The events and festivals organized at St. Mary’s High School in Kalyan are often celebrated with great pomp and gaiety. Apart from classroom activities, we also pay heed to other important festivals which must be celebrated in order to understand our country’s tradition.

Such celebration will bring students closer to traditional and cultural belief. A close bond is built between the students as they understand each other’s different customs.
