At Prime World Public School Saket Meerut, we believe education goes far beyond textbooks. True learning happens when children experience traditions, values, and cultural celebrations together. Festivals are not just days of joy—they are opportunities for children to learn about unity, respect, and diversity. That is why we make celebrations an integral part of school life.
From Diwali to Christmas, Independence Day to Holi, every festival in our school is a chance for students to sing, dance, create, and connect with one another. In this blog, we share how we celebrate different festivals and why they are so important in shaping young minds.
