The students of class 11 of ‘AL Public School’ decided to host a farewell party to students of class 12. A core team was formed that brainstormed and identified various activities that needed to be performed for the same. It was decided that the arrangements for refreshments, sound and music, tentage, gifts, invitations and cultoural programme are required to be made.
