Kava's owner, Old Boy Akaash Garg, very graciously supported this event. As all the teachers walked in with the same persona as ever, a cake cutting ceremony brought the celebration to life.
“The importance of a teacher in shaping up one’s life needs no rhetoric. A teacher forms the very foundation and bedrock of our very being and thus despite our best efforts to pay them back, we shall always remain indebted. A teacher is one who we idolize, who helps us discover our real being, who helps us hold our head high” said the President of SJOBA while welcoming the teachers.
With hearts full of respect and the air thick with laughs, cherished memories and nostalgic eyes, the ex-students and teachers got reminiscent of old times. Despite all the success achieved by the old boys in their respective lives, they were humbled by the presence of the teachers of their alma mater.
Ms. Kavita Dass, Principal, St. Johns High School, expressed her sentiment in the following words “A truly memorable get-together. The pains that had been taken, the thoughtfulness in inviting the senior teachers and the small acts of kindness (an egg and an eggless cake) made us feel so very special.”
Ms. Likhari, the Senior School Coordinator, added “Each teachers day is better and more enjoyable than the previous one”.
As all parted ways with a promise to honour our teachers for life, an emotional wave passed through with a hope to see them again, soon!
