In support of this message, our Social Studies Teacher, Mr. Madhusoodhan, highlighted the relevance of the theme by adding a powerful extension:
“One Earth, One Community”,
reminding us that individual wellness contributes to global harmony, and Yoga is a binding force that connects us to both nature and each other.
