MCKVians celebrated Diwali- the festival of lights, shine, sparkle, togetherness and happiness in the school campus this week.
The Foundational Stage students were a part of the week-long festivity. Our boys participated in interactive sessions with their teachers and classmates pledging to celebrate a green Diwali. Keeping with the traditions associated with Diwali, a classroom cleanliness drive was organized. Students of the Pre-Primary section created craft items like paper folding diyas, colourful paper lanterns and greeting cards. The flower rangoli decoration by the students and teachers of the Foundational Stage in the school’s atrium area was splendid. Our little ones gifted one another dry fruits and sweets, thus bringing to life a quintessential Diwali day.
A special assembly was also organized on 9 November 2023 where our choir boys greeted everyone a Happy Diwali, our dance troupe presented a marvellous tribute to Goddess Kali and our Prefectorial Body members lit up the atrium with candles and diyas.
The celebrations were a manifestation of the true spirit of Diwali and a promise that light will triumph dispelling darkness.

Our mental health is crucial for our overall well-being, affecting our emotions, thoughts, and social life. Unfortunately, it often gets ignored. To raise awareness and challenge the stigma surrounding mental health, M. C. Kejriwal Vidyapeeth organised a Wellness Fair on 4 November 2023 at the school campus. The school's Chairman, Mr Kishan Kumar Kejriwal, on whose initiative the Wellness Fair was held, was present to encourage and motivate the parents and students.
One of the highlights of the event was a panel discussion on the importance of mental health. The discussion was moderated by the well-known psychologist and founder and managing director of HLS India, Mr Amitabh Mohan, and featured the participation of Dr Sarmishtha Chakrabarti, an eminent psychiatrist and executive committee member of The Indian Psychiatric Society, West Bengal; Mr Bobby Chakraborty, renowned actor, activist and teacher of method acting; and Dr Anamika Sinha, reputed psychologist and Director, Manovikas Kendra. The discussion explored the close relationship between mental and physical health, and was much appreciated by the parents and students who attended it.
In addition to the panel discussion, distinguished healthcare professionals and wellness experts hosted various interactive stations, providing a wide range of services to educate parents and students about different therapeutic approaches, including art, music, movement, relaxation, meditation, and access bars, which can enhance mental well-being and promote healthier coping strategies. Moreover, medical professionals, paediatricians, and nutritionists were on hand to offer guidance on numerous methods to improve physical health.
Ms Mallika Mukherjee, Principal, M. C. Kejriwal Vidyapeeth, expressed, "We aspire for this initiative to raise awareness and foster greater sensitivity towards mental health issues, encouraging everyone to unite in the effort to overcome the stigmas associated with mental health."

Truly the short trip marked a grand beginning to the festive season as our boys realized that empathy and kindness make a huge difference in the lives of others.

A Session On Building Reading Habit for Class 3 Children
=========================
Instilling a love for reading from an early age is often the key to lifelong learning. Besides creating exciting formative experiences in children, reading builds socio-emotional skills and help children make sense of the world and people around them like nothing else does.
On 12 October 2023, the Wellness Centre of M. C. Kejriwal Vidyapeeth organized a programme to help the students of Class 3 to reap the innumerable benefits of reading. With the help of games, videos and presentations, Dr Apala Chatterjee and Ms Mousumi Chowdhury, our school counsellors, highlighted the necessity of developing the habit of reading and made the students realize the advantages of engaging in this simple yet profound activity.
The enthusiasm in the library classes post the session makes us hope that, in an age where stories disappear within 24 hours, our boys will be able to discover the true essence of reading.

Little MCKVians capture the enchantment of Janmasthami

. C. Kejriwal Vidyapeeth

Teachers have existed as long as humankind, and although the formats have changed over time, their influence and role remain constant and far-reaching.
On 5 September 2023, MCKVians welcomed their teachers with roses - a gesture symbolic of their appreciation and gratitude. The morning brightened up for the teachers as the students presented a special assembly featuring original poems composed by our students and a unique instrumental performance. The best part of the day was the role-reversal, where our boys shouldered various responsibilities that their teachers take up every day. The day culminated in a cake-cutting ceremony where fond memories were created together.
Teachers' Day celebration in MCKV was about acknowledging the incredible work that the teachers perform every day and it was truly worth every effort when we saw our teachers enjoy themselves and take time off just for a little while.

"Happy Teachers' Day to all the dedicated educators around the world! Your tireless efforts in shaping the future are truly appreciated. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to education."
