Dear ParentParentParent

Once again it’s time to interact with you through the pages

of the newsletter ‘Buzz’.

The publication of the Autumn Edition of the newsletter for

the academic session 2019-20 gives me immense pleasure. The

dents in all fields, be it academics or curricular activi-

ties. From achieving exceptionally good results in CBSE exam-

inations to winning plethora of prizes in inter-school compe-

titions, this session has been a remarkable stepping stone

of our journey towards excellence.

I hope that the remaining session carries forward this tale

of triumph and our dear parents continue to collaborate to

inspire, motivate and prepare to combat the battle of life

in the best possible way.

Happy reading !

Educationally yours
