Our Prayers and The Indian National Anthem

Our prayers are the ones, which provide the tool for spiritual start of our school day. This also teaches everyone the power of prayers and the god. It is a celebration and recognition of our culture, religion and the Hindu belief. We also recite the Indian National anthem to provide the recognition for our nation. We invite all of our parents and students to join in the prayer and national anthem recitals. We ask all of our students and parents to make sure that the recitals are carried out in loud and clear voice.
