Srinagar: Delhi Public School (DPS) Srinagar successfully hosted a vibrant Cross Country Run for students of Grades 5 and 6 on Friday, April 10. Themed “Sustainable Tomorrow – Go Green,” the initiative was designed to foster physical fitness, teamwork, and environmental stewardship among the youth.
The run flagged off at the scenic Duck Park and followed the picturesque foreshore road before concluding at Nishat. Guided by dedicated teachers and sports instructors, the young participants displayed immense enthusiasm and determination. The event culminated at Nishat Garden with a celebratory ceremony where students were awarded medals and certificates for their successful completion, followed by a well-deserved refreshment spread.
In a parallel and equally inspiring event held the same morning, the school’s Learning Resource Centre (LRC) conducted a special morning run from Duck Park to Eco Park. The LRC students showcased exceptional sportsmanship and grit throughout the activity, with the winners being specially felicitated in a departmental ceremony. These dual events reflect the school’s unwavering commitment to holistic growth, inclusivity, and environmental consciousness.
“At Delhi Public School Srinagar, we believe that education extends far beyond the classroom,” stated Principal Ms. Shafaq Afshan. “Initiatives like the ‘Sustainable Tomorrow’ run are vital; they not only build physical endurance and discipline but also instil a profound sense of responsibility towards our environment in these young minds.”
Commending the successful execution of the event, Chairman Mr. Vijay Dhar remarked, “Sports and outdoor activities are foundational to shaping a child’s character. I am immensely proud of the students for their enthusiastic participation. Such events are crucial for developing the confidence, resilience, and overall development that we strive to nurture in every student.”
