63rd Founder’s Sports Day 12th October

Dance is in the DNA of SKV, and this was apparent on the occasion of the Annual Sports Day. Under the tutelage of Umashanker Dance Safari, SKVians put on two dance items. First was a traditional dance performance entitled Rangilo Rajasthan.

The second dance item saw a wave of students come on to the arena to sway, jive and groove to a medley of retro hits, all from the 70’s.

The Annual Prize Distribution took place to honour the students who had achieved outstanding results and brought honour to the school.

We appreciate all the students who were a part of making the day such a huge success and congratulate all winners and participants.
