Apeejay School, Model Town, Jalandhar students recently participated in a Promo Ride Cyclothon organised by the Rotary Club of Jalandhar Helping Hands. This event, held as part of the National Eye Donation Fortnight (August 25 – September 8), aimed to raise awareness about the significance of eye donation. The Cyclothon was an opportunity for students to actively participate in a noble cause and demonstrate their understanding of social responsibility.
The event saw participation from students of Class VII B, including Arjun Dhir, Harkirat Singh, Veer Partap, Anantveer, and Aniket Asthana, who proudly represented their School. The ride began at 5:30 a.m. with the students displaying tremendous enthusiasm and dedication to the cause. The aim of the Cyclothon was not just to promote physical fitness but also to encourage the younger generation to understand the importance of donating eyes to help the visually impaired.
Throughout the event, the students were applauded for their energy and commitment. To appreciate their efforts, each participant was awarded a potted plant, medals, and refreshments. This gesture reinforced the spirit of community service and environmental consciousness, two values that are highly emphasised at Apeejay School. The students’ participation in the event highlights the school’s dedication to nurturing responsible citizens who are aware of their duties toward society.
The Promo Ride Cyclothon was part of a larger campaign to promote eye donation and set the stage for the final event, scheduled to be held on October 6, 2024. This concluding event will see the students once again taking to the streets to support the cause. Their determination and positive attitude have already made a mark, and the school is proud of their contributions.
Through such events, Apeejay School, Model Town, Jalandhar, continues to focus on holistic education. The school not only encourages academic excellence but also instils a strong sense of social responsibility in its students. The Promo Ride Cyclothon served as a perfect platform for students to engage in a meaningful cause, develop leadership skills, and contribute to the community in a significant way.
As the school prepares for the final Cyclothon event in October, Apeejay remains committed to its vision of shaping young minds into conscientious and responsible individuals who are prepared to make a difference in society.
