SPORTEK 2017
Billie Jean King once said that sports teaches you character, it teaches you to play by the rules, it teaches you to know what it feels to win and lose- it teaches you about life.
Dan Gable added that Gold Medals are not made of gold. They are made of sweat, determination and a hard to find alloy called GUTS.
Taking inspiration from these profound and powerful words of these eminent sports people, MRIS-46 Gurgaon organized SPORTEK 2017 from 28th November to 2nd December 2017 for the students of Grades V-XI. As always there was 100% participation from the students.
Ms. Dhriti Malhotra, the School Principal declared the sports meet open with the ceremonial unleashing of the balloon that reverberated the hopes, dreams and high aspirations of the students.
