| Springdales Celebrates its Golden Jubilee |
| |
The year 2005 was a glorious one in the history of Springdales as the school celebrated Fifty Years of its commitment to the cause of education.
From the euphoria created by the grand Jubilee Carnival to the Opening Ceremony at the National Stadium, it was momentous all the way. A nostalgic Torch Run, a magnificent March Past and Splendid Drill Display were the highlights of the day.
This set the tone for the events to follow - The Y.Kumar Inter School Student Award for International understanding, the International Children’s Festival dedicated to Peace and Friendship, the First Gowardhan Dass National Declamation Contest and Mini Youth Meet, the Birthday Celebrations on September 1st, at which a Special Day Cover designed by the students of Springdales Dhaula Kuan and Mr. Shankha Samanta, ex-Springdalian, and designer of postage stamps, was brought out, the Jubilee Day for the 5500 Springdalians culminating in a 3-Generational Dinner at Pusa Road. The Teachers day Celebrations organized by the Springdales Education Society at Dhaula Kuan brought together our veteran teachers as well as the current staff in a spirit of unity reminiscent of the old times. The release of our book “School Society, Nation – Popular Essays in Education” at the India International Centre with contributions from 20 leading educationists and intellectuals was another hallmark and the “Living in Giving” get together for all the Community groups organized at Pusa Road and finally the Exhibition – “Vasudhev Kutumbkam – a journey in education” bringing back much nostalgia.
The year long celebrations came to an end on the Evening of February 8th 2006 at the International Children’s Festival presided over by the High Commissioner of South Africa Mr. Francis Moloi. Mrs. Jyoti Bose in her welcome speech recalled the magical moments and programmes which had taken place during the Golden Jubilee Year and thanked everyone for making it so memorable. A vibrant stage presentation by the Springdalians giving a call for building bridges of peace and friendship was followed by lively items by the Embassy Schools.
