DEAR Day Activity

April 12, 2023

"Becoming a strong reader is essential for being a lifelong learner." D.E.A.R Day (Drop Everything And Read) was celebrated with great pomp and splendour, in classes Nursery to XII, on April 12, 2023 at Sagar Public School, Gandhi Nagar. This day is celebrated every year to mark the birth anniversary of the beloved Newbery Medal winning author, Beverly Cleary. It also aims at instilling the practice of reading among students and introducing them to the wonderful and enlightening world of books. The students unleashed the magic of books by dwelling into the world of stories and imagination. Each one of them enjoyed reading the book of their choice which included picture books, chapter books with a huge variety of genres such as non-fiction, fantasy and comic. Invigorating activities like Rendezvous with the Author, Character Party and Writer Interviews were organised to develop and grow the interest of students in reading. The activities proved fruitful in promoting positive reading culture among the young learners.
