FRIENDSHIP DAY on August 3
Between Giggles and Glitter, Our Stories Glow
TINA KHATRI
It is a good vibes only kind of weekend.
Why? Because we’re celebrating the one thing that makes school more fun, life less boring, and memories way better — Friendship.
Friends are the people who:
• Make us laugh when we’re sad,
• Help us cheat (just a little) in class,
• And always say, “I got you,” even when we don’t ask.
They’re our chosen family — the ones who understand our weird, match our energy, and stay by our side through it all.
So forget the textbooks for a while and get ready to:
• Make cool crafts
• Play silly games
• Eat yummy snacks
• And celebrate the awesome friends who make every day feel like a festival.
Let’s make this Friendship Day full of colour, creativity, and unforgettable fun.
Because memories fade, but best friends… always leave glitter behind.
