उत्तर
Environment Day Celebration at St. John High School.
- Reena Rai, Student Reporter
Mumbai, 6th December 2020
St. John High School celebrated Environment Day yesterday with great enthusiasm. The day started off with an assembly, followed by the Principal’s speech on the importance of saving the environment. This was followed by a skit prepared by the Environment Club of the school on the effects of global warming and the measures to be taken to stop it. A host of activities were organised by the students. Students from the 9th and 10th standard took the initiative to spread awareness about the threats to the environment and how each one of us can contribute towards protecting it. They even made a questionnaire, to test how aware people were of the problem and whether they knew about the measures they could take to improve the situation. A plantation drive was also carried out by the teachers and students, where they planted trees in the school premises. The day concluded with everyone taking a pledge to be more eco-friendly. The Principal commented, “It was the great effort taken by the students and teachers that made the event such a huge success.”
