The Pre-Primary Annual Day of Don Bosco School and Junior College, Nashik was celebrated with great joy, enthusiasm, and colourful vibrancy on February 6, 2026. The programme stood as a heart-warming tribute to the innocence, talent, and boundless energy of the kindergarten children, creating cherished memories for parents, teachers, and invited guests.

The celebration began with a solemn invocation, seeking God’s blessings for the young learners and the success of the programme. This was followed by a warm and cordial welcome of the Chief Guest, Mr Rahul Goswami, along with the Rector, Fr Royal, Principal, Fr Rixson, and the esteemed members of the management, whose presence added grace and dignity to the occasion.

The presence of the Chief Guest, Mr Rahul Goswami, a distinguished alumnus of Don Bosco School, Nashik (Batch of 2009) and a dedicated parent, added special significance to the celebration. An engineer by qualification, he is currently pursuing post-graduate studies in Sanskrit and is deeply committed to the teaching and preservation of India’s spiritual heritage.

The highlight of the programme was the delightful array of performances presented by the pre-primary students. The tiny tots mesmerized the audience with colourful dances, lively action songs, and theme-based performances that reflected values such as love, sharing, unity, and gratitude. Each presentation showcased the confidence and enthusiasm of the children and bore testimony to the patient guidance and tireless efforts of the teachers.

Addressing the gathering, the Chief Guest shared a thoughtful and insightful message. He emphasized that a child gains knowledge and wisdom from four important fields—parents, teachers, the friend circle, and personal experiences. He highlighted that the balanced influence of these four pillars plays a crucial role in shaping a child’s character, values, and overall development, especially during the formative years. His words resonated deeply with parents and educators alike.

The programme concluded with a heartfelt vote of thanks, expressing sincere gratitude to the management, Principal, Rector, teachers, parents, and students for their cooperation and support. The Pre-Primary Annual Day celebration truly emerged as a joyful expression of early learning, creativity, and the strong partnership between the school and families, reaffirming Don Bosco’s commitment to nurturing young minds with love and care.
