New Delhi: School’s annual function is more than just an event. It is an important celebration that brings together students, teachers, and parents of classes to reflect and recall the triumphs of the academic year. This function acts as a platform for students to display their talents beyond the classroom setting. Whether it be in music, dance, drama, or sports, students take part in various activities with great zeal and enthusiasm. The Annual Function also helps in the overall development of the child. A well-written anchoring script for the school’s annual day is very essential as it keeps the parents and guests engaged while informing them of the theme and other important things of the functions.
The Annual Function serves as an important occasion to recognise and appreciate the hard work and dedication of both students and teachers throughout the year.
