2. Morning assembly is an integral part of the school’s

schedule. Almost all the schools conduct morning
assemblies which include prayers, information of
latest happenings, inspiring thoughts, speech,
national anthem, etc. A good school is always
particular about their morning assembly schedule.
Morning assembly is important for a child’s
development. It is essential to understand that
morning assembly is not just about standing in long queues and singing prayers or national
anthem, but it’s something beyond just prayers. All the activities carried out in morning
assembly by the school staff and students have a great influence in every point of life. The
positive effects of attending school assemblies can be felt throughout life.
Have you noticed that in school assembly you always stand in row and column and this make
a coordinate system. Suppose a school have 100 students and they all assemble in prayer in 10
rows as given below.

3. Carpooling: It is the sharing of car journeys so that more than one person travels in a car, and
prevents the need for others to have to drive to a location themselves. By having more people
using one vehicle, carpooling reduces each person’s travel costs such as: fuel costs, tolls, and
the stress of driving. Carpooling is also a more environmentally friendly and sustainable way to
travel as sharing journeys reduces air pollution, carbon emissions, traffic congestion on the
roads, and the need for parking spaces.
