Ref: 4th/19-20/1st July, 2019

Dear Parents,

We are happy to meet you through the 4th letter of the academic year 2019-20 of our school.

Save water, for our survival and future, save every drop and protect the lakes and rivers.

It’s our pride, duty, and responsibility. Come ... join the hands, spread the message, and pledge now

and forever …to save water.

It is the precious gift of God on the earth. Life exists on the earth because of the availability of water.

Itself being tasteless, odourless and colourless, it adds taste, colour and nice smell in the life of living

beings on the earth. It takes nothing from us but gives life to us

We should take a pledge and make a lifelong motto of “Save water, save life, save earth”.

We should teach simple methods of water saving to our children, women and other members of the

family like turning off all the taps tightly after each use, using sprinklers to water the lawn, giving bath to

pets in the lawn, repair of all the leaking pipes, harvesting rain water for purposes like watering plant,

washing clothes, etc.
