Creating boxes of happiness was an amazing activity that turned kindness and caring into a cool, fun task for the children of classes 4 and 5.  This was an initiative by Goonj NGO for each child to gather 7 different items to create his/her own BOX OF HAPPINESS for a village friend who is underprivileged. It guarantees tons of joy of giving and huge learning about empathy and giving!!
 Our teachers motivated kids to take part in this.  Many children of classes 4 and 5 participated in this campaign during Daan Utsav and proved that no act of kindness, no matter how small, is wasted.
  Parents of the children who created their BOXES OF HAPPINESS dropped those boxed neatly labelled at the school keeping in mind the protocol for covid situations. Then the material collected was handed over by our teacher Ms Renu Trehan to Goonj volunteers .

The anti-cracker campaigns were done by the VIS Scientia Society on the occasion of Diwali in order to create awareness among the students above classes 3 in form of meetings and a social media campaign on Instagram and Facebook. The main theme of these campaigns were to have a great green Diwali free of noise pollution and crackers that also cause air pollution. The campaign led to a total participation of 700-800 students of the VIS community. These campaigns were the result of days of collaboration and hard work of The Scientia Society’s members and core team teachers and students who were determined to make a difference in the world. The predicted results show that most of the students who were part of these campaign didn’t participate in burning crackers.  We are truly proud and hope that this small step will make a difference and motivate others too. 

VIS students got the unprecedented opportunity to travel virtually to various locations during Microsoft Global Learning Connect through the night on 10-11 November, 2020. The virtual sessions on Microsoft Teams began at 9 pm ist on 10 November’20 and continued till 6.30 am on 11 November’20. This year students travelled to various locations in USA. Students interacted with experts and learnt about Cyber Safety, American History, book-writing and student life in America during the pandemic. With the theme ‘Open Hearts Open Minds’, the highlight of the Global Connect was the virtual tour of Tate Geological Museum in Wyoming, USA. Students saw the skeletons of many species of Dinosaurs - T-Rex, pterosaur, pterodactyl, even mammoths, ancient horse and soft-shell turtle. They were completely in awe! We travelled a total of 24, 578 virtual miles in one night! It was an enriching experience for students.
