On February 1st, Suchitra Academy concluded its Drop Everything and Read (DEAR) initiative with an exciting event led by our dedicated Stages/Grade I and II teachers. In a creative twist, they used the art of ‘Nukkad Natak’ (street play) to convey the importance of reading to our young learners. The lively performances captured the attention of our students, featuring relatable characters and a powerful storyline highlighting the magic of books. This event was not only a visual delight but also a testament to the innovative spirit of our teachers. As we conclude the DEAR initiative, let’s carry forward the enthusiasm and lessons learned, allowing the joy of reading to continue illuminating the path of learning for our students, and fostering a lifelong love for books.
