Principal’s Desk Dear Readers,

With the advent of August, comes the festival

season. We are trying to keep pace with

numerous school events, exams and festivities.

This is when we really need to race with time.

Soon the school will close for Navaratri. The

children have gone through a grilling time so let

them enjoy their holidays. Please guide them

regarding their responsibilities towards the

society.

Have a very enjoyable Navaratri/Durga Puja.

Regards,
