The awareness week theme for the year 2020 was Psychosocial impact of Covid-19 – how to cope with it. Ever since the Covid 19 invaded this globe, people across the world are in fear. The pandemic has touched everyone in some way or the other forcing isolation, uncertainty, feeling of hopelessness and anger due to social distancing. The economic meltdown is also causing distress among people and causing invisible emotional stress. To cope up with all the negative impacts of Covid – physically, emotionally and economically the students were made aware of the issue and how they could deal with it.
The awareness week kick started with an activity where the children expressed their heartfelt gratitude for the corona warriors’ by writing slogans, poems and making thank you cards.

A musical extravaganza held in various classes cheered up the teachers and students alike – “Music being the only medicine a heart and soul—needs to stay calm.” Children were apprised about the benefits of hosting virtual happy hours to bridge the social distancing.

The week long activities culminated with a special class assembly for students. A special prayer meet was also held on Microsoft teams for the teachers of all the branches. They paid homage to the great departed souls with firm determination to be the torch bearers of the dreams and aspirations of Ma’am Sood & Sir Sood.
