Although Children’s Day is
celebrated on the 14th of November, we in Pathways had no less of a celebration
on the 16th of November. Solely for the purpose of entertaining us, the
teachers sang and danced for us. The Primary School teachers performed a play
called ‘The Grumpy Dragon’, which according to me amused the Primary students
quite a lot. Even for us, Secondary students, it was a thoughtful act. Next up
were the Middle School teachers, performing a parody of the hit song, ‘Gangnam
Style’. They called it ‘Pathways Style’. It was hilarious not only because of
the teachers’ dancing, it was also fun to watch them rap to the lyrics that was
composed by them reflecting what we students have to be involved with on a
daily basis. For a final group performance, the Senior School teachers imitated
some of the Secondary students and we, as an audience, had to guess who they
were imitating. It was an exhilarating and mind-blowing performance. After
this, we thought the assembly might have been over, but we were wrong. A couple
of other teachers performed to a few songs and Pankaj Sir, from IT even recited
a song backwards; it was truly marvelous to watch. We owe our teachers a token
of thanks, not only for a fabulous Children’s Day, but also, for being
fantastic as teachers throughout the year.
