2. 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.”

3. 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 !
Alka Kapur

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!!

God’s Gift to Me! Money
Money can give you books but not
Dear dear God, knowledge,
In this world, Money can give you house but not home,
I am not alone
Money can give you a bed but not sleep,
As I have a family of my own.
You have also given me loving friends, Money can give you a medicine but not
Who give me wonderful moments. good health,
I thank you God for blessing me, Money can give you something but not
With a beautiful world where I can be.. everything!
