GD Goenka School Christmas Carnival

It was the first thick fog of winter season near Delhi on Dec 23, 2012. A perfect weather for a nice gathering. Pleasant, cloud-like fog, little traffic and no wind-chill. In this perfect setting, a Christmas Carnival was organised at the school campus by GD Goenka School, Greater Noida near Delhi. A very well organised event, had everything what the kids would love to have on a perfect Christmas outing. As the Sun peeped through the vanishing fog a while later, the arena was brightly lit to present a soothing atmosphere.

The school lawns were dotted with splash of red colour of Santa Clause and white colour of Snow all around. The red and white baloons and the same colour combination for pavilions offering Christmas special goods mainly for children were added attractions.

The carnival was visited by many school going kids with parents and friends. They were kept engaged throughout with many events and games of fun and frolic. Many were seen enjoying the horse rides with their parents shooting pics for fond memory. A band comprising of many bagpipers swaying melodiously filled the air with lovely music.
