Halloween Day 31/10/11

Halloween was celebrated with much gusto by the students of class X. On Monday’s assembly, these students dressed up as ghosts and other supernatural beings to spread the word about Halloween. The students first began with an introduction of Halloween. They then told scary stories as per tradition and ended the short but educational show. Some students even went amongst the lower sections wearing their vivid make-up. The children were surprised but with the lights, they laughed and took it in a fun spirit.

The 31^st of October was an unforgettable day for our Orchids assembly, and it broke the tedious monotony of a Monday morning quite well!
