The Newsletter…….

Page 2: Newsletter oct to dec

Yet again we have successfully prepared an eventful newsletter that has

chronicled all the activities and has presented the vibgyor shades of the

Modernites. When a team works well, the effort needed to achieve the goal

is divided, making work a little lighter and the effects are multiplied and

this aspect is quite evident in the present newsletter. It is our sincere

endeavour to impart quality education to our students and help them

reach the path to excellence. We hope to achieve this aim by becoming

facilitators as we render all possible help to our students to acquire

proficiency in gaining knowledge and sharpening their communication

skills and applying it and thereby making the newsletter a grand success. I

would like to end with the words of Albert Einstein, who once said,

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For while knowledge

defines all we currently know and understand, imagination points to all

we might yet discover and create.”

I extend my earnest wishes for the coming up edition of the newsletter, which is a mirror of my students as well as teachers’ indefatigable efforts. My students always give me a reason to smile and motivate me to create more opportunities with an aim to enhance their self esteem. Newsletter is one such platform to exhibit their innate talents and also a kaleidoscope of plethora of activities conducted in our institution. I firmly believe that self esteem is a key to success and to pioneer true self-esteem they must concentrate on their accomplishments and forget about the negatives in their lives. If you do not have self esteem, you cannot develop self confidence. It's how much you value yourself and how important you think you are. It is how you see yourself and how you feel about your achievements. It is not about thinking you are perfect - because nobody is - but knowing that you are worthy of being loved and accepted just as you are. I further request all the parents to help the children explore opportunities to find out who they are, rather than persuading them to be who you think they should be. We must show respect for children by giving them choices when appropriate and then respecting their decisions supplemented with unconditional love and the gift of your time with them. Its only then that we can expect a pre-eminent nation. It does not matter who you are or where you came from. The ability of triumph begins with you always.

“To get a taste it ain't enough

To eat your fill you need the stuff

You think you're there about to land

But is the trip just what you planned

You're falling, yes you're falling

For the sweet smell of success !

Homework! Homework! Homework!

So much homework, too much homework!

Why too much homework?

I do homework, you do homework

We all do our homework

Are we scared?

Yes, we are!

It saves us from the teacher‟s scolding

It saves us from the parent‟s scolding

So much homework, too much homework

Some find it boring, some find it interesting

But still we all should do homework

It helps us for better learning,

It prepares us for better future!!

Prerna Chauhan III E

Homework!!

God’s Gift to Me! Money

Money can give you books but not

knowledge,

Money can give you house but not home,

Money can give you a bed but not sleep,

Money can give you a medicine but not

good health,

Money can give you something but not

everything!
