FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK

INDEPENDENCE DAY 2018

SANSKRIT WEEK CELEBRATION

"The true teachers are those who help us think for ourselves."

Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan.

The word education literally means „to draw out‟ in Latin which is the most important

quality displayed by the teacher as she encourages the students to deliver their best. Dr.

A P J Abdul Kalam, one of the greatest educationist says, “Teachers are the backbone of

any country, the pillar upon which all aspirations are converted into realities”. Like

sculptors, they mould and guide the young minds to spread their wings to reach for the

stars. In the midst of all the new methodologies of teaching, technology and learning

styles of students, teachers play an indispensable role as they ignite and impact the

young minds by facilitating and giving the freedom to think, ask questions, explore and

imagine in the learning process. Parents also play an equally important role as the initial

teachers as they encourage and expand the child‟s learning in their journey to prosper

and succeed.

THE TALE OF THE PENCIL

There was a boy named Raj. One day Raj

looked upset when he came back from

school because he had scored less in his

English test. His grandmother sat with him

and gave him a pencil. A puzzled Raj

looked at his grandma and said he didn‟t

deserve a pencil after his performance in

his test. His Grandma explained, “You can

learn many great things from the pencil

because it is just like you. It experiences a

painful sharpening, just the way you have

experienced the pain of not doing well in

your test. However, it will help you to be a

good student. Just as all the good that

comes from the pencil is from within

itself, you will also find the strength to

overcome this hurdle, and finally just as

the pencil will make its mark on anything

you choose to.” Raj was immediately

consoled and promised himself that he

would do better.

Moral of the story

We all have the strength to be who we

wish to be.

Ruhika. Ruhika never wore the

raincoat since the rime it was

purchased. So, Reenu became upset

MY GRANDPARENTS

My grandparents are very special to me.

When I am with my grandparents, I feel

so good. It‟s the best time ever. They tell

me many things which I have never seen

or done. They always remember to wish

me during my exams or any competitions.

My grandmother knits beautiful sweaters

for me. She even showed me how to knit

woollen clothes. I found that very

fascinating. I love to hear stories from

them about their childhood.

My grandparents are in love with nature.

When they were children they used to

play under the trees, pluck fruits and

drink water from the well. I too want to

experience all of it. They told me that it

is possible only if we plant more trees.

Every year, I sow many seeds so that it

grows into a big tree. One day, there will

be birds building nests, there will be fruits

and it will provide shad to several living

things.
