Ghana’s 68th Independence Day: CMS leads patriotic display in GA North

March 6th marks an important day in Ghana’s history—the celebration of the nation’s independence from British colonial rule, which was achieved on this very day in 1957. As the country gears up for a series of activities to commemorate the 68th anniversary of Ghana’s independence, the vibrant pupils of Cherryfield Montessori School in the GA North Municipality have already set the tone for this historic celebration with an inspiring march full of pride, energy, and national spirit.

The day was filled with an overwhelming sense of unity as Cherryfield Montessori School’s students, teachers, and staff came together for a colorful and spirited procession that reverberated with the sounds of patriotic chants and the fluttering of school flags. The event was designed to raise awareness of Ghana’s independence and highlight the importance of the milestone anniversary. Carrying flags and singing with infectious enthusiasm, the pupils proudly paraded through the streets of the municipality, showcasing their love for their country.

As part of the buildup to the larger, national celebrations, which include a grand ceremonial parade at the forecourt of the Presidency, the march held a special significance for the Cherryfield Montessori School community. Madam Magdalene Dzifa Adzanu, the Chief Executive Officer of the school, spoke with JoyNews about the importance of the event. She emphasized how the march was more than just an activity—it was a testament to the students’ deep understanding of the rich history of Ghana and the nation’s journey to freedom.

“It was important for us as a school to provide our students with the opportunity to express their patriotism and reflect on the sacrifices that led to Ghana’s independence,” Madam Adzanu shared. “This march is not just about celebrating what has been achieved but also about looking forward to a brighter future for our country.”

The march itself was a dazzling display of the unity and pride that defines Ghana’s national identity. As the children walked proudly, waving the flags of their school and the nation, the air was filled with joy, hope, and a shared sense of purpose. Through their energetic display, the students brought to life the significance of Ghana’s independence, reminding all who witnessed the march of the ongoing journey of freedom, unity, and development.

The march was not only a celebration of Ghana’s independence but also a platform for students to showcase their talents. Many of them demonstrated their artistic abilities, from singing patriotic songs to other performances, all of which highlighted the beauty and diversity of the nation’s heritage.

This vibrant display of patriotism at Cherryfield Montessori School was a perfect precursor to the larger national celebrations and served as a reminder that Ghana’s journey toward growth and success is a collective effort, one that relies on the contributions of each and every citizen—young and old. The children of Cherryfield Montessori School, with their lively march and heartfelt expressions of pride, demonstrated the hope and unity that will continue to drive Ghana forward for generations to come.

As Ghana celebrates its 68th Independence Anniversary, it is clear that the spirit of patriotism, the recognition of history, and the vision of a bright future are alive and well in the hearts of the country’s youngest citizens.
