The essence of our theme "Harmony in Action", lies in our collective effort to support every student's unique journey, emphasizing that we are at our best when we stand together as a community. By participating in this year's event, you're not just walking or running; you're contributing to a more inclusive and supportive MIS community.
This is a family-friendly event, open to all ages. Whether you opt to run or prefer a leisurely walk, your presence will add to our communal spirit. We warmly welcome all family members, even the youngest ones in strollers, to join the fun.
To make the day even more special, we encourage you to wear your favorite MIS gear. Let's showcase our school pride and unity in a vibrant display of colors.
In the spirit of "Harmony in Action," let's come together to make this event a celebration of our diverse yet united community.
