FEPSians from the KG Department up to Grade 10 came together on November 3 to celebrate UAE Flag Day, filling the entire campus with unity and national pride.
The school grounds were divided into three main areas: KG to Grade 3 gathered on the main ground, the boys from Grades 4–10 assembled in the boys’ block, and the girls from Grades 4–10 held their program in the girls’ block. Although the groups were separated, each followed a similar program that highlighted the spirit of the occasion.
At exactly 11:00 AM, all students stood in attention as the UAE national anthem echoed throughout the campus. Right after, the song “لغتي العربية” (My Arabic Language) which was originally used in an Arabic Language Competition back in 2016 was played as students raised their flags proudly.
The short program concluded with a short presentation by selected members of the Social Studies Club. They shared the history of the UAE flag and explained why honoring it remains an important national tradition. Their messages emphasized unity, identity, and the values the flag symbolizes for everyone in the UAE.
Simple, meaningful, and filled with pride, the event brought the entire school community together in celebration of a truly significant national symbol.
