Childhood becomes the best phase of the life which should be healthy and happy of everyone so that they can be ready to lead their nation ahead. If the children are unhealthy from mind and body, they cannot give their best to their nation in the future. So, the childhood phase of the life is the most significant phase which every parent should nourish with their love, care and affection. As being the citizen of the country, we should understand our responsibilities and save the future of the nation.

of the country”. Principal Chitra recollected the letter written by Pt.Nehru to Children and quoted,” I hope you will be more sensible and open your eyes and ears to this beauty and life that surrounds you. Can you recognise the flowers by their names and the birds by their singing? How easy it is to make friends with them and with everything in nature, if you go to them affectionately and with friendship. You must have read many fairy tales and stories of long ago. But the world itself is the greatest fairy tale and story of adventure that was ever written. Only we must have eyes to see and ears to hear and a mind that opens out to the life and beauty of the world”.Children’s day celebrated in SEVAI Shanthi Matriculation Higher Secondary School was celebrated with lots of fun and activities like games, sports, indoor games, outdoor games, dance, drama play, national songs, speech, essay writing etc. activities and all. -Kris
