‘It’s not how big you are.
It’s how big you play.”
-John Wooden (American Basketball player)

Sports, whether team - based or individual is great for children
as they provide not just physical activity, but also help build
children’s self-esteem, confidence, social skills and motivate them
to excel in life. Sports day brings new energy in the hearts and
minds of the children. In SAN , we encourage children to participate
in a wide range of sports events, cheer on their teammates and
learn valuable lessons of sportsmanship. San Academy, Kamakoti
Nagar commemorated it’s 3rd Annual Sports Meet on July 27th,
2019 at YMCA grounds, Nandanam, Chennai with great zeal and
excitement.The day unfolded with bright sunshine, a gentle breeze
and an enthusiastic buzz in the air.
The renowned Guiness World Record Holder for Mass Yoga, Dr.
Pon Anbarasu graced the occasion by accepting our invitation to
preside over as the chief guest for the occasion.
Sports day theme for Kindergarten and Grade 1 was “ DOWN AT
THE FARM”. The farm is where our food comes from and livestock
reared.
The day commenced with the hoisting of the flag by the Chief
Guest. Our Nursery, JrKg, SrKg and Grade 1 students rendered a
grand parade headed by the school band. It was a visual treat to
watch the tiny tots waving some of the farm products like Apples,
pears, mangoes and strawberries and walking in sequential line.
The parade was followed by some splendid drill display by our
tiny tots. JrKg children gave us a fascinating performance as little
bunny rabbits sporting carrots which is their favourite fruit in their
hands. SrKg children gave us a scintillating performance by shaking
and moving to the chicken song. It was really amazing to see the
tiny tots perform splendidly in their individual grade display events.
They learnt to stay strong mentally, never had fear to move forward.
All the winners were given certificates and medals as a token of
appreciation. Parents constantly applauded and encouraged the
young sports stars.
Fun time with father’s and mother’s event added to the
enjoyment. The parents displayed a sense of bravado and really
youthful participation.
The grand finale was by our Grade 1 students. It was a visual
treat to watch them tap their legs and shake themselves to the
peppy tune of the minions with brightly coloured fruits in their
hands. The Chief Guest and the Principal laid emphasis on the
importance of sports in students’ lives. The day was filled with
exciting and engrossing display of sportsmanship, fine and gross
motor coordination, a sense of fairness and yet competitive spirit.
