As per the circular of the school, all pre-primary children from nursery to second class were asked to bring dry fruits and vermicelli with them. Notice directed parents to send children wearing any ‘Kurta pyjama and small cap’. Now this message of Auckland School is becoming increasingly viral on social media.
