I am writing to you to express my gratitude. I had planned, to send this mail and wanted to thank you in person, on the Report Card day of both my children, Vandita and Madhav. However, due to the unprecedented circumstances this did not happen. I have waited the entire academic year, 2019-2020 to express the joy that my heart experienced. First, I would like to begin by congratulating you all on the success of the Annual Day function. I always look forward to hearing Chairperson ma’am addressing the parents. Please convey my heartfelt gratitude to her. The theme ‘Veer Yodha’ and the performances were so touching that I gave a standing ovation. At times I make Madhav repeat a few dialogues for me. One of the dialogues – “ Ae Shaheede Mulk O’ milat , main tere upar nissar………..” touches a chord in my heart. Secondly, I cherish both the class teachers, Mrs. Bharati Bharadwaj and Ms. Latika Bhatnagar. During the PTM, Bharati ma’am would guide us parents to work in partnership with our children towards their academic success. I heard her address each and every student of the class as ‘My Bacha’ and this will forever reverberate in my mind. It was a blessing to have such wonderful class teachers for my children. Thirdly, I would like to mention that the class presentations, award functions and PTM have been really streamlined. Class V presentation exhibiting diversity in India successfully delivered an important social message in a humorous way. I appreciate the idea of conducting the PTM in the auditorium. Otherwise, one has to keep moving from one class room to another. Fourthly, I would like to thank the teachers of the Cambridge English Learning Program – Shweta ma’am, Rekha ma’am and Shikha ma’am. This is a great program and both the children enjoy it. A big thanks to the school for the co-curricular activities that the children are encouraged to participate in. I am unable to find words to thank you for giving Madhav the opportunity to participate in the Harvard Model United Nations. I would like to thank Mrs. Meenakshi Rawal and Mrs. Debjani Das for taking such good care of him and keeping us posted with pictures. I would like to thank Sumedh Sir and the MUN Society as well. The Youth Power Program has groomed Madhav to be a responsible citizen of the country. He has gained immense knowledge under the mentorship of Mrs. Garima Pandey. Kaushik Sir gave Madhav the opportunity to participate in a play based on a novel written by Munshi Prem Chand. This was really valuable. Sincere thanks to the entire faculty for their contribution to the learning process of both my children. Lastly, I would like to join my hands and thank you as you are the most assiduous. I admire your zeal towards achieving success in each pursuit. In the current academic year, I wish to write to you more often, so I begin with an appreciation for the decision to hold online classes in the current scenario. I have attended a session or two for both class 10 and 6 and I think they are fabulous. I heard you addressing children and mentioning the Delhi riots during the political science session for class 6 on the topic ‘Diversity in India’. The yoga session today was a refreshing start to the day. Considering that the book shops are shut, I appreciate Mrs. Kirti Rishi’s efforts to upload the relevant pages of the German book for the students. My suggestion is that the children should be made to submit their homework assignments online. I would also like to mention that the delivery of books by the school book shop was very prompt. I received the book-set within two days of placing an order. Though online classes are taking place, yet the children miss being at school. Hope the situation normalizes soon, until then stay safe!
