Immanuel International Academy Teachers Day
Immanuel international Academy celebrated it’s very first Teacher’s Day on the 4th of September!
The day began with a special Assembly where Ms. Philip, the principal, explained why we celebrate Teacher’s Day on the 5th of September in India. For those of you who aren’t aware of the history, here’s a brief synopsis:
Teacher’s Day is celebrated in honor of the birthday (5 September, 1888 to be exact) of the 2nd President of India, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan – a noted scholar, philosopher and educator.
Among the many talented students of IIA, a few were selected to present a song, give speeches, perform a traditional Bengali dance and a short skit. Then the students split into two groups to watch Avatar and Star Wars while the teachers gathered for a fun and relaxing morning. They were joined by Aylwin Woleng (LTCi) and “Aunty” who shared from her years of experience as an educator. She was full of praise and respect for the teachers and also thanked them for their hard work and commitment.
We also read out notes of encouragement and appreciation to the teachers sent by our friends and partners in the States – Jan Venable, Barbara Condra and Grant Venable. And of course, it wouldn’t be a celebration without good food and presents for everyone. A big “thank you” to all who made this a memorable day for our teachers!
