Little hands and imaginative minds came together in a creative burst of energy during the Waste Craft Expo 2018 held on September 19 under the guidance and support of the primary section teachers. The event was inaugurated by the school principal. The programme aims at creating an awareness on the importance of preserving the environment and learn more about sustainability. Students of classes 1 to 4 prepared very creative and innovative models from different waste materials which were arranged there in the exhibition. They used reusable and recyclable materials like newspapers, shoe boxes, ice cream sticks, eggshells, Pista shells, coconut shells, plastic bottle and much more. They created an amazing array of display items like pen stand, show pieces, paper weights, flower vase, fruit bowls, wall hangings etc. The values like preservation, recycling, conservation, reduce, reuse, etc were embedded on the young hearts and minds through this noble act.
