CASUAL DAY REPORT

FETE

As the winter chill started to settle in, the Round Square Committee of our school organized one of the most awaited events of the school, the Fete. Students partying, teachers busy at various stalls, many old dalians enjoying their good old school and the younger children spellbound by the magic show are some glimpses that can surely spread a smile over your face. The students and teachers cooperated exceedingly well so as to make this event a grand success. The RS fete was inaugurated by Mr.Rameshwar P.Singh.

This fete was basically organized for the raising of funds by the round square committee for community service. Stalls ranging from chats, soft drinks, Chinese and what not were present in this grand event. On the entertainment side, there was the pillow fight, hit and win Mirinda, souvenirs, etc.

According to a survey conducted, the pillow fight and the magician Tapash proved to be the top two sensations of the fete this year. Well , the pillow fight , at first it may sound just a normal pillow fight but when you are dangling in mid air and holding on to a thin wooden pipe for your dear life and your opponent’s pillow comes with a whack on your face, that makes things a lot more interesting. And the magician Tapash made an impressive show of his magical skills, which was proven by the fact that there were always about a dozen people in front of you in the line for your ticket.

Last, but not the least, another most exciting feature of the fete was the lucky draw, where prizes worth rupees 20000 were distributed to the lucky winners. These fabulous prizes included garden grille coupons, fruit baskets, Timex watches and lots of other cool stuff. The bumper prize was the one that set the audiences’ pulses racing. It was a 3 nights 4 days trip to Goa. The anticipation was displayed on each and every face that was present there at the fete. This fantabulous trip was won by a junior school parent Mrs. Chhabra.

Imagine eating out, having fun, playing games, winning prizes, having a gala time and at the same time, raising money for a noble cause. That was the Round Square Fete. The fund raised by the RS which will be utilized for the various community surface projects that will be undertaken by the committee. Apart from being just an excellent source of entertainment for the entire school, the fete inculcated a sense of leadership, responsibility and team work amongst the students involved in the organizing of the fete. Standing proudly on its six pillars, Round Square was once again successful in conducting an event at such a scale and to this level of perfection.
