SJKT Jenjarom set the stage for an extraordinary cultural affair on the 6th of February 2024, as they organized a Unity Pongal Celebration that transcended the boundaries of their own school community. What rendered this event particularly noteworthy was the inclusive gesture of extending invitations to students from five neighboring schools. The intention was clear – to cultivate unity by inviting individuals from diverse backgrounds to partake in the rich tapestry of cultural festivities.

Among the esteemed invitees were SJK C Jenjarom, SK Telok Panglima Garang, SK Jenjarom, SK Kampung Judah, and SK Bumbun. This inclusive approach aimed to create a melting pot of cultures, fostering a sense of togetherness among students from diverse backgrounds. The event unfolded within the sprawling grounds of SJKT Jenjarom’s school compound, providing a fitting backdrop for the cultural exchange. The festivities commenced promptly at 8am, marking the beginning of a day filled with vibrant celebrations and meaningful interactions.

The Unity Pongal Celebration at SJKT Jenjarom featured a poignant display of cultural inclusivity as teachers from the invited schools, representing diverse racial backgrounds, actively participated in the traditional Pongal ritual.  When they boiled the rice for the Pongal preparation, the teachers from the invited schools, not necessarily from the Tamil community, wholeheartedly engaged in the ceremonial process by pouring milk into the Pongal pot during the preparation.

The event commenced with a spectacular Silambam demonstration, serving as a captivating and special welcoming performance. In addition to the main festivities, a diverse range of activities tailored to specific age groups added a dynamic and inclusive dimension to the Unity Pongal Celebration at SJKT Jenjarom. Notably, students from the invited schools actively took part in these engaging activities, contributing to the overall vibrancy of the event.

For the youngest participants in kindergarten and Standard 1, a delightful coloring activity was organized. This creative endeavor allowed the children to express themselves through the use of vibrant hues, adding a playful and artistic element to the celebration. Moving to Standard 2, the students showcased their artistic talents by crafting Pongal pots using clay. The pots were not only molded with creativity but also adorned with decorations, adding a personalized touch to each creation.

For Standard 3 and 4, the girls engaged in the art of weaving flowers, showcasing their dexterity in creating intricate floral arrangements. Simultaneously, the boys participated in the “thoranam” activity, crafting decorative festoons using coconut leaves. Standard 5  girls continued their flower-weaving activity, while the boys took on the task of weaving coconut leaves into a fence, known as “thennai mattai pinnuthal.”

Standard 6 girls showcased their artistic skills by drawing intricate kolams, traditional decorative patterns. On the other hand, the boys participated in the thrilling “uri adithal” activity, a challenging task of breaking a pot hanging high up using a stick while blindfolded.
