"The Earth is what we all have in common" Wendell Berry
April 22, celebrated as Earth Day was initiated to inspire all to rejoice and cherish the beautiful planet and to awaken the students on how they can be an asset in saving the Earth from pollution, global warming, water scarcity and other several concerns. We have always believed in grooming the students to become alert citizens who can contribute positively in safeguarding and protecting this planet by instilling the belief that each one of them can become Guardian of the Globe This year the theme of Earth Day is Invest in Our Planet with three pillars to act (boldly), innovate (broadly), and implement (equitably). The day aimed to raise awareness about environmental issues and promote conservation efforts to protect our planet. It reminded us of our responsibility to take care of the planet and protect it for future generations. Various activities were organised.

I'm glad that the reading activities to be fantastic!

Exam stress is a common phenomenon that affects students of all ages. It is completely normal to feel anxious or stressed before and during an exam, as exams are often seen as a test of one’s knowledge, skills, and abilities. However, when stress becomes overwhelming, it can have negative effects on a student’s performance and overall well-being. Through different activities, we explore the causes of exam stress, its symptoms, and ways to manage and overcome it.

The theme of Special assembly was on Basant panchmi which marks the beginning of the spring season. This day is also celebrated as the birthday of Maa Saraswati. Maa Saraswati has a Veena in one hand, a book in the second hand, a Rosary in the third hand, and a fourth hand in var mudra. Maa Saraswati is also worshiped by many names like Bhagwati Sharda Bageshwari, Veena Vadini and Var Devi. The vehicle of Saraswati Maa is a white swan and she sits on a lotus. The book in one hand of Maa Saraswati gave the message that our attention should be towards books, towards literature and students should never be separated from books. Veena on the one hand gives the message that as there is synchronization among the wires of veena likewise our heart feelings and brain should be in synchronization. White color symbolizes peace and purity. Our knowledge should be pure with our character positivity and no negativity.

Unity in diversity: Unity in diversity means oneness in the varieties. India is the best country proving this concept for many years. India is a country where it is very clear to see unity in diversity because people of many religions, race, cultures and traditions live together. They celebrate festivals together, have trade relations with each other, etc. When we get support from others then we can get the courage to fight together for injustice. When we are united, we can bring the change. So unity not only gives hope, courage and hope but also brings a change. Unity Gives Motivation: When we work as a team, we get motivated by each other and encouraged to work harder. In alignment with this noble principal our school actively involved students of classes I to V in an interesting activity of finger puppet making,where they took part with utmost interest.

Life is a Great Big Canvas,throw all the paint on it you can" said by Danny Kaye.
