Recognizing Community Helpers
At MRIS-51, it is customary for students to express gratitude towards school support staff—nannies, guards, conductors, and drivers—recognizing their invaluable contributions. This practice helps children appreciate the roles of community helpers and respect their dedication.
Primary Wing Outreach Activities
Primary wing students actively participate in activities aimed at reaching out to local communities, including visits to charitable organizations supporting street children. These interactions redefine their understanding of kindness and compassion.
At MRIS-51, we are dedicated to nurturing children who will evolve into conscientious citizens of tomorrow, equipped with the values and skills necessary to make a positive impact on society. Through our community service initiatives, we aim to build a better, more compassionate world.
