Ref: 5th/19-20/1st September, 2019

Dear Parents,

We are happy to meet you through the 5thletter of the current academic year of our school.

1. EDITORIAL

"Every Nation has a message to deliver,

A mission to fulfill, a destination to reach." - Swami Vivekanda

It seems we as a nation are finally ready to move forward towards our new destinations and missions,

as our top leaders are taking stern actions and decisions which are going to influence us all in a big

way and which were unimaginable before now. But even as we embrace these decisions and

celebrate them, we all grieve as we lost two of our beloved and stalwart leaders – Sushma Swaraj

and Arun Jaitley to the hands of fate.

But something to feel proud of is our Indian woman creating history in sports when P. V. Sindhu

became the first Indian Woman to win a world championship in badminton.

September has arrived and all of us are geared up once again as we prepare for the half yearly

exams. Combined efforts from both parents and teachers end and a regular and disciplined effort

from the students is what makes any exam a success. Let us all encourage our wards to put in their

best and come out with flying colors, while at the same time not compromising on any of the other

co-curricular activities at school.
