FOOD FEST 2016

This year saw the coming in of the largest
number of food fests to DPSBN and for the
first time there were three food fests in a row.
They were organised to raise funds and show
support to Dystrophy Annihilation Research
Trust (DART) which was set up keeping in
mind Karanveer Singh, a student of the
school, and other boys suffering from
Muscular Dystrophy. The food fests were
organised separately for different grades with
the help of students from classes 11 and 12 th
th
commerce stream who volunteered to set up
the stalls and help distribute the food.
There were three separate fests, the first one
on September for classes 9 to 12 , the
th
th
second on 12 December for classes 6 to 8
th
th
th
and the third on 23 December,2016 for
rd
classes Nursery to 5 . There were separate
th
coupons for each food item which were pre-
ordered and with a variety of mouth watering
options that were a sure success in helping to
raise funds.
The students and teachers had a gala time in
taking part and organising the fests, which
also gave them a chance to spend time with
their friends. There were also a variety of
other activities to raise funds and liven up the
atmosphere which included a DJ Kiosk where
songs could be played on request for a
nominal fee and the students were spotted
enjoying having a day to themselves.
Apart from this, it was also a learning
experience for the students as they were made
aware of the issues in society and took an
active part in contributing to a positive
change and also learnt a bit of organisational
and planning skills and to support good
causes for the betterment of society. On the
whole, it was full of fun and an educational The Vice Principal, Mrs. Renu Dimri
