The more that you need,

the more things you will

know. the more that you

learn, the more places

you’ll go.

- Dr. Seuss

Books are a uniquely

portable magic.

- Stephen King

You’re never alone when

you’re reading a book.

- Susan Wiggs

I never feel lonely if I’ve

got a book – they are

like old friends.

- Emilia Fox

Reading is to the mind

that exercise is to the

body.

- Joseph Addison.

A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never

reads lives only one’.

- Jojen

Reading is one of the fundamental skills a child needs to learn to

succeed in life. The more your child reads, the more new words will

find their way into their vocabulary. It gives them exposure to words

and phrases that they can use in their daily life. It also helps them

to adapt to the learning environment in classroom. It encourages a

thirst for knowledge as children learn more about the world around

them which invites in their curiosity to know more and ask

question. It enriches our life experience and provides substance for

thinking and makes no demand. Reading is an exercise for the

mind but doesn’t make any great demand on the mental power,

and is therefore soothing and comfortable. As parents and teachers

we need to foster our children’s love of reading, as they may be still

unaware of the benefit and the pleasure one derives from reading.

Upcoming Event:

to by children and parents alike. A unique theme is decided on and students tirelessly work

involve all our children as we believe that every child is talented and it only needs to be

honed and perfected. This year the Annual Day will be held on 16th December 2016 at the

Vishnudas Bhave Auditorium, Vashi. We eagerly look forward to your presence and co –

The Winners…. Teaching has become one of the most complicated jobs today. It demands broad knowledge

of subject matter, curriculum and standards, enthusiasm, a caring attitude, and a love of

learning, knowledge of discipline and classroom management techniques and a desire to

make a difference in the lives of young people. With all these qualities required, it’s no

wonder that it’s hard to find great teachers…

Sanjivani International School can proudly claim that they have some of the best teachers

who are dedicated to their profession and in sharing knowledge and providing life

experiences to our students.

Therefore it is no surprise that some of our teachers are the proud recipients of ‘Best

Teacher Award’ this year.

Ms. Suvarna More : A warm, enthusiastic and caring person and teacher,

Ms. Suvarna has been with SIS since 2009. Demonstrating a strong

commitment towards her profession and school, she works tirelessly to

impart knowledge and values to the children. She was bestowed with the

Best Teacher Award on the occasion of Teachers Day this year by Navi

Mumbai’s ‘Major City Foundation’.

Ms. Leena Antony : An optimist with ‘Live and Let Live’ attitude, Ms.

Leena was rightfully selected for the Best Teacher Award By Maratha

Samaj, Kharghar. She says, “For me success is the sense of achievement. I

feel successful as a teacher, because I have inspired some, touched the

lives of a few and also instilled the love for Chemistry in many.”

Ms. Shivi Malhotra : She charms everyone with her endearing smile and

comforts the little ones with her presence. The pre- primary section adores her

for her loving ways and therefore it is no surprise that Ms. Shivi was selected

as the Best Teacher by Maratha Samaj, Kharghar, along with Ms. Leena

Antony.

Ms. Kranta Yadav : Ms. Kranta may come across as strict and stern,

but she is extremely pleasant and approachable. She ensures that her
