A vibrant and energetic atmosphere filled Awal Mulia Kindergarten and Kimia Tirta Utama (KTU) Elementary School during the two-day student art and creativity showcase.
The students performed confidently on stage, presenting a range of artistic works that conveyed messages of values and character development.
Wearing colorful costumes, the students performed dances, songs, and short dramas that addressed themes such as anti-bullying, cultural diversity, and healthy lifestyles. Through artistic expression, students were encouraged to learn about empathy, courage, and the importance of appreciating differences in an engaging and age-appropriate manner.
This activity serves as a form of contextual learning, encouraging students to collaborate, build public speaking skills, and develop social awareness from an early age. The presence and support of parents created a warm and welcoming atmosphere while strengthening collaboration between the school and families.
The art performance received positive recognition from the District Coordinator for Education in Koto Gasib District, Sutikno, who attended the event to observe the students’ performances.
Sutikno emphasized that learning occurs not only within the classroom but also through direct experiences that foster students’ self-confidence and social development.
“Art performances such as this represent the culmination of a series of learning activities designed to showcase the development of students’ talents and creativity. Furthermore, the event reinforces essential character values that children can apply in their daily lives,” he stated on Friday, December 19, 2025.
In addition to education officials from Koto Gasib District, the event was attended by representatives from PT Kimia Tirta Utama (KTU), the palm oil plantation company that manages the school. Attendees included PT KTU Administrator Teddy Yohendra Siregar, Head of Administration Arief Fadillah Lubis, Community Development Officer A Hardiman, CSR Assistant Eri Apriadi, and members of the PT KTU Employee Wives Association (Periska).
PT KTU Administrator Teddy Yohendra Siregar stated that the art performance serves as an expression of appreciation for the students’ learning and development, as well as a demonstration of the company’s commitment to supporting education in its operational area.
“This activity represents an appreciation of the students’ efforts and achievements. We extend our gratitude to the principal, teachers, students, and parents for their support in organizing this event,” he said.
