Rootsians celebrate Pakistan Day

Pakistan Day was observed in all nationwide campuses of Roots School System including Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Lahore, Peshawar, Mirpur, Wah and Muzaffarabad on Monday.

The slogan of this year was "Pakistan: Our Pride, Pakistan: Our Identity" and the main objective of this event was to inculcate patriotism, moral values and love for the country in the students.

The interesting and vibrant event spanned over the whole day during which the Pakistani flag was hoisted. Colourful banners and buntings had been prepared and pictures and movie posters of great leaders of Pakistan were displayed. Face painting was also arranged for the students in accordance with the Pakistan Day.

Students delivered speeches on Pakistani architecture, education, heroes and achievements and set up a display table with books, articles and posters about Pakistan. They also organised a cultural dress show including national and regional dresses while national and regional songs completely changed the ambience of the overall event.

Another aspect of the celebration was that all the children wrote small prayers for their country and pinned them up on their dresses. The ceremony concluded with a prayer.

Every year, students of Roots School System celebrate the month of March as the month of jubilation and thanksgiving. This year, Rootsians celebrated Pakistan Day with spectacular presentations, displays and held special Qura�an Khwanis in all the campuses to pray for the solidarity, peace and progress of the nation. The students pledged their commitment to take the Pakistan of today onto the heights of glory and excellence.
