Where once laughter danced and chalk sang on the board

Now echoes whisper the tales of darkness abhorred

APS, a haven, a fortress of young minds

Ravaged by shadows, Innocence confined

Honorable Vice Principal, Respected Teachers and my Very Dear school fellows,

Assalamo Alikum

We stand today under the shadow of December 16th, A date that burns in our collective memory.

APS, a haven of learning, became a battlefield, where innocence was stolen, dreams shattered.

We mourn the fallen, the teachers who shielded, the children who dared to hope.

But Darkness cannot extinguish the human spirit.

From the ashes, Defiance rises.

Let APS be a catalyst of change, a promise whispered in the wind. In every classroom, a flame of
resistance burns, a testament to the power of love, and the courage to rise.

Remember Peshawar, Never Forget. But let hope be our guiding light.

Thank you and have a nice day!
