A Dedication to The Teachers’

“If you look behind every exceptional person there is an exceptional teacher.” — Stephen Hawking

Teachers’ Day was celebrated at NPSI Mysore, with a lot of enthusiasm. The programme on 5 September, was organised by the students of class 12. The spectacular show was meticulously planned by students throughout the previous week, with countless practice sessions to perfect themselves in every manner. The programme began the day before, where the students extended a warm invite to the teachers by unfurling the banner which read “You Are Invited” and showered balloons from top to set the tone for a series of fun activities planned for the pre-teachers’ day celebration. They had a tough task of dividing teachers into different groups. The teachers enjoyed playing games such as throw ball, cricket and treasure hunt bringing alive the child in them.

On the 5th of September the students displayed a plethora of programmes capturing the hearts of the teachers. The programme began with a Fantastic Fashion Show starring different Bollywood actors and actresses. The festivity continued with a string of medleys from the 90’s which was brought a lot of cherished memories to the teachers. Next in line was the enthusiastic and energetic foot tapping dance performance of the students to music of the bygone eras. Finally, the teachers were also invited to dance to add to the finishing touch of enjoyment.

The principal, Ms Akhila Dinesh addressed the students, applauding them for their hard work and appreciating them on showcasing such a splendid performance in a short span of time. The teachers retreated back to their classrooms with sense of nostalgia and evoked a lot of cherished memories.

The finale of the teachers’ day was held on the 14 and 15 of September. A surprise package was planned by our Principal Ms Akhila Dinesh and the Admin team, called the “Dream Team Sleepover” an overnight camp at school. Teachers gathered at 2:00 pm and were welcomed with a rhythmic pattern of drumbeats and dance. Then they dispersed to the various venues, all geared up for the different competitions “Game on Gala.” In ‘Vibrant Visions’ the rangoli competition had a splash of colours and the most creative and artistic designs in display. The ‘Master Chef Mania’ which was the cooking competition brought the culinary skills of the teachers which brought out a wide range of flavours from the north and the south. The ‘Fusion Fest’ which was the dance competition unveiled the cultural extravaganza of different states, so elegantly and exquisitely presented by the teachers. Finally the Throw ball match was an action packed match between the teams and every team gave their best.

Sharing her thoughts on the occasion, the Principal, Ms Akhila Dinesh, applauded the teachers’ efforts and their wholehearted participation in the events. She congratulated all the participants and then announced the prize winners and distributed the prizes for all competitions. As the twilight approached, the sunset and evening was filled with delectable delicacies along with music, theatre, fashion show and Antakshari. The day concluded beautifully with laughter, camaraderie, and meaningful conversations, all celebrating the dedication and spirit of teachers.
