Mangaluru, Jul 8: LCS Kindergarten celebrated Van Mahotsav on Tuesday, July 7, under the theme ‘Green Vibes, Better Life.’ The celebration aimed to inspire children to plant trees and develop a sense of love and responsibility towards nature.

The KG 2 children formally welcomed the principal, Fr Johnson L Sequeira; vice principal, Anitha Thomas; academic coordinator, Linet Pereira; and the parents who witnessed the programme. The significance of the day was explained by Tasmai Shetty and Yuvin Krishna of KG 2.

The pre-KG children presented a cheerful dance performance. The KG 1 and KG 2 students performed a lively action song, followed by a meaningful dance drama highlighting the importance of trees and nature.

The children then took an oath to love and care for plants, water them regularly, and never harm them. He also appreciated the cultural performances
