definitely miss you at the school!!
Rohan: Yes, you were loved by all of the children and everyone would like to give you a
farewell party on 5th….Is that fine by you??
Radhakrishan: Of course how can I say no to you children and I know this goes without
saying but I will miss working here with you all as well….I will be busy as a bee after this
week. Yes, I know I am retiring but I have a very busy schedule.
Priya: Yes, we understand…wait I have a great idea!! Why don’t we celebrate this every year
to honour our beloved teachers and principals…Named after you…We can name It hmm
um Teacher’s day!!
Manya: Yes that’s a great idea Priya!! And….and we can have dances, music, and a few
speeches and performances to celebrate!!

(Radhakrishan smiles)
Radhakrishan: I think that’s just a great idea...you have my permission..What are u waiting
for?? Don’t u have a show to put on??
Narrator: Everyone smiles at each other and run out of the room
Rohan: Ok so what are we doing to make everyone aware of this?? We cannot go to every
class and inform them…It will take up too much time.

know this kid from my class- uh he’s new- Oh right!! His name is John and he is great with all
this computer stuff. I can ask him to help out??
Manya: Yeah that’s great!! But wait…are we also going to perform??
Narrator: Rohan and Priya look at each other and smile.
Manya: What- what is it??
Narrator: All three of them walk out- Manya following them as they tell her the plan.

Narrator: It’s a new setting- everyone in the class is creating chaos, throwing around paper
planes, writing on the boards, arm wrestling.
In the middle all of this Priya goes over to John and asks him about the fliers. John, having
made hardly any friends happily agrees. But he quickly looks back up as the teacher walks
into the classroom. As Priya goes back to her desk the whole class turns at the teacher and
turns quiet.
Teacher: *Sighs and then smiles* Good morning class.
Class: Good morning Miss Acharya!!
Teacher: I am glad to see that everyone is at their desks…now I would like to start the class
by talking about- *inaudible words*
Narrator: As ma’am is talking ,Priya looks over at John giving him a signal to look at her. She
then tells him to meet her after class. John gives her a thumbs up and Priya starts
concentrating in class again.
Narrator: An hour later The bell rings and the class is dismissed.
Priya: Come on John lets go!

hallway.
