“When we throw color on each other, we’re bringing in the new year.”

“Holi is the festival of spring, so we wear light colored, old clothes to signify winter,” Mahidhara said. She said seeing everyone’s smiles on their faces is her favorite part of the holiday, as well as all the vibrant colors. Since she was a child, Mahidhara has celebrated Holi with her family by going to the beach and throwing around colored powder. It’s really nice to find a piece of my identity and blend it in with my everyday life.” “Especially now, as I’m a senior, and I’m leaving soon. “Holi is a way to let go of any worries you have, just have fun and throw with your friends, your family or whomever,” Mahidhara said. These event coordinators invited the entire Archer community to join the festivities on the back field, where students dressed in white clothes and splashed each other with colored powder to welcome in spring. Senior Meera Mahidhara and sixth grader Samaira Modgil led presentations teaching the Archer community about the holiday, and they later collaborated with Dean of Student Life, Equity and Inclusion Samantha Hazell-O’Brien to organize a schoolwide Holi celebration for the first time. The next day, people unite in the streets and overcome past resentments as they play with vibrant colors that carry various meanings, such as love and emotions. The celebration starts with a bonfire the night before Holi to represent the burning of all things evil and the victory of good over bad.
