Sports Day in My School
Every school celebrates its Sports Day and, all the students eagerly look forward to taking part in it. My school the St. Andrews Sr. Secondary School has its Sports Day every year sometime in the month of November. The month of November is earmarked for the occasion, as, at this time, the weather is congenial for physical activities. When the event approaches, there appears to be a lot of activity in the entire school premises as, arrangements take time.
Weeks before the Sports Day, children start giving their names for different events, and then, after the school hours, practices start. The children, who do not participate in any events, get other duties of the like of making relevant charts, making lists of games and participants etc. Studies take a back seat during these days, except for those in Class X and XII. The rest of the school is bustling with enjoyment and merriment during this event.
After a fortnight of preparations for the Sports Day, the day finally arrives. The lawns are meticulously done up, white chalk powder lines are made for different events. Victory stands are beautifully done up to make the victors feel proud. All the children come in white uniforms that is a sight to watch and admire. Even the staff members are smartly dressed for the event.
The day starts with the usual Assembly and then, all of us are instructed to go to our allotted places on the lawn, class wise. Volunteers, usually the senior children, guide the smaller kids to their respective places and everything is set as per the plan. The Chief Guest is taken to the dais, and the Principal says a few words to introduce the guest to all, and requests him to say a few words and declare the Sports open. The guest spoke about the importance of Sports and Sports Day, and declares the opening of the function, and the action starts.
One by one the events take place in a very well disciplined manner and the winners listed and made to stand on the Victory Stand and cheered by one and all. The games and Sports last for about two hours and then comes the most interesting moment of the function the moment of appreciating the winners by awarding them gifts and prizes, cups and shields. This is the ultimate moment of pleasure for winners when, amidst loud clapping and shouting of cheers, they get their rewards for their good work from the Chief Guest.
The thrill, the excitement of taking part, and the pleasure of winning are all moments worth experiencing. I love to see students participate in the games with their hearts and souls. At the end of the day, the winners were felicitated and the event was declared closed. All the students, teachers and parents had a great time.
