The Chief Guest, the Guest of Honour and the Special Guest were presented mementoes as a sense of gratitude and appreciation for gracing the occasion. 

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

The much awaited cultural show began with a bang with the beautifully choreographed Prayer Dance. The small children of Nursery, KG, and Class 1 stole every one's  heart by their wonderful display of energy and joy. Be it 'Suno bachho' by DPS- KIDS, 'Phir se chamke' by the Nursery Kids, 'Betay kal se' by the kids of Kg II or 'Tara Rum Pum' by Class 1 students, the audience enjoyed to their hearts' content in rapt attention. They too danced in the rhythm of the songs and the dances.

The Hindi Drama, 'Ladki kyun Padhe' presented the true picture of our conservative and male-dominated society, where women are treated as burden and left only to undergo the rigours of household chores. It carried a message that suggested that women are capable of doing much more than what we can even imagine.

The dances like Shadow Dance, Contemporary and UV, beautifully conveyed the message of 'Naari Shakti, the theme of Elysium 2016.

Almost all the presentations came in for profuse praise from the audience.

The dazzling show of talent combined with tremendous amount of hard-work brought rich dividends in the form of loud applause and huge cheer.

It was a job well done,

The work of a TEAM - Together Everyone Achieves More.

We'r more interested in arousing enthusiasm in kids than in teaching the facts, The facts may change, but that enthusiasm for exploring the world will remain with them the rest of their lives.
