The celebrations on 4th December started on a high note with the young and dynamic Pre-Schoolers welcoming the grandparents with a welcome song, expressing their love for them. The narrators left everybody spellbound with their oratorical skills.  The  Welcome Dance,  left the audience  tapping their feet. The Pre-Schoolers reversed the roles and took the grandparents down the memory lane by narrating stories which they had once heard from them.  The stories depicting Thumbelina, Snow White and Pied Piper left everyone spellbound. The Sports Ramp Show was also  showcased by them with poise and elan.

On 11thDecember, the Pre-Primary picked up the narrative ‘Krishna Leela’ and depicted nine stages of his life-beginning from his birth to the imparting of Gita Saar to Arjun.

The young ones stole every-one's heart through their soul stirring portrayal of each scene. The  stage setting and props gave the performance  a real feel which gave one a  feel of sitting in Vrindavan at one time to being in the midst of the battlefield at other times. The occasional chants of ‘Jai Sri Krishna ‘from the audience marked the success of the performances.
