Saturday, November 2nd,2019 marked a special day in Santinos Calendar
as the 2nd graders geared up to host the 3rd Annual Farmer’s Market. The school
ground looked like a typical, busy Rythu Bazar with students dressed in dhoti
kurta and sarees, sitting in their stalls and selling vegetables and fruits.
The little hands equipped with their weighing machines, sold the
items skillfully at the same time educating the parents about the nutritive
value & other advantages of the vegetation.
During the course the students learnt to weigh the vegetables using weighing
scales, to convince the buyer and all about money transaction. The idea behind
this event is to make the students aware of hardships of a farmer in selling
the fresh produce and to appreciate and value the food they eat.
Puppet shows, Cultural performances, Potters wheel, Mehendi,
Photo booth, & Mini petting zoo exhibit were few other attractions of the
day.
Farmers market this year also witnessed a lot of club related
activities to fruition.
Students from Santinos Gardening club got to put up a stall
selling fresh produce like ‘Organic green leaves’, ‘tomatoes’, etc.
Students from Santinos Art club got to put up a stall selling Home décor items
like envelopes, paper weights, photo frames, pen stands, etc.
Students from Santinos Home Science club, under the guidance of their
respective teachers got to put up a stall for refreshments.
