Onam, the festival of Happiness, Peace and Prosperity was celebrated in great fervor at TFS on 28th August, 2015.Onam is the most important festival in Kerala. It is a harvest festival celebrated all over the state by people of all communities. The children of Pre-primary observed the special day in their own distinctive style. A special assembly was held where both the children and teachers welcomed the occasion by singing the popular song, Vannalo Vannalo Onam Vannalo.

It is said that Kerala never witnessed a better reign than that during the rule of King Mahabali. He was the most just king ever. Thus he was blessed by the Gods to be remembered by the people of Kerala and all his followers eternally as Onam. Together with the teachers, the children decorated a Pookalam (Rangoli) with fresh flower petals and grass. Diyas were lit and placed upon the Poolakalam, giving an almost spiritual ambience to the occasion. The children tapped along in delight to traditional Onam songs played on tape. Head Teacher Ms. Susan Thomas wished everyone at the celebration. Some the teachers were traditionally attired in Kerala kodi saris, the look completed with sweet-smelling jasmine strings in their hair! Ms. Archana Shyam.
