Teachers are the guiding lights in the lives of their students, leading them from darkness to enlightenment. It was followed by a beautiful prayer dance which carried deep significance.

A particularly heartwarming aspect of the celebration was the three rounds of honoring the teachers. As each teacher was called forward, students presented them with carefully chosen gifts. These weren't mere tokens; Each gift represented more than just a material offering- it symbolized the unique connection between each student and their teacher. What made these gestures even more special was that the cards accompanying the gifts crafted by the students themselves, manually. Each card was a labor of love and appreciation. The handmade cards added a personal touch to the celebration, making it even more meaningful.

The commitment of the students went beyond the gifts and the song. The stage decoration, a beautiful and visually striking backdrop for the celebration, was also the result of their efforts. It was a testament to their dedication to making the event memorable for their beloved teachers.
