On 5th June 2025, Ashmita English School hosted a series of activities and competitions to observe World Environment Day, a globally recognized occasion established by the United Nations in 1972 to promote environmental awareness and collective action. Celebrated in over 150 countries, it serves as a vital platform for encouraging sustainable practices and protecting natural ecosystems.
This year’s theme, “Beating Plastic Pollution”, called attention to the growing threat posed by single-use plastics to our environment and public health. The focus was on reducing plastic waste and promoting responsible consumption, recycling, and the use of sustainable alternatives.
Active Participation in Environment Day Initiatives
As part of the Environment Day observance, our children took part in a school-organized awareness walk aimed at promoting environmental consciousness among students and the wider community. They carried thoughtfully prepared cardboard banners displaying messages on environmental protection and sustainability. Along the walking route near the school, the children also participated in a cleanup activity by collecting litter, helping to beautify the area and reinforce the importance of community responsibility. Their active involvement demonstrated environmental awareness, teamwork, and a strong sense of civic duty.
Promoting Learning through Engagement
Beyond the awareness activities, the school facilitated both creative and intellectual competitions, including drawing and chess. These events provided an opportunity for students to reflect on environmental themes in a practical, expressive format, while also developing key skills such as problem-solving, artistic expression, and strategic thinking. These activities played an important role in reinforcing the values behind World Environment Day.
Noteworthy Achievements by Our Children
Our children participated with enthusiasm and diligence, earning recognition for their outstanding performances. Alina secured first place in the inter-house chess competition, demonstrating exceptional strategic ability and focus. In the drawing competition, Salman won first place, and Sailesh was awarded second place. These accomplishments reflect both their individual capabilities and their thoughtful engagement with the day’s environmental focus.
A Moment of Pride and Encouragement
The participation of our children in both the awareness campaign and competitive events reflects their dedication to learning, environmental stewardship, and active citizenship. Their achievements bring pride to our home and stand as a testament to the impact of positive encouragement and educational opportunity. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Alina, Salman, and Sailesh, and remain committed to supporting such meaningful experiences in the future.
