Dear Parents,
As the students proceed for Summer Vacation, I would like to take this opportunity to
communicate with you through this letter.

The much awaited summer vacation is knocking at the door! The very thoughts of summer
vacation include images of time for relaxation to escape the heat, pursuing of leisure
activities and indulging in good quality time with friends and family. There are plenty of
productive ways that your ward can spend the vacation which can be fun, relaxing and
helpful for him/her. We wish that the children should spend their summer vacation well;
making optimum utilisation of time, following their passion and also at the same time
enhancing their academic knowledge.

We would like to share with you few tips in order to ensure that the vacation is utilized by
children in fruitful ways.

Some suggestions in this regard are given below and we insist if they can be given due
consideration:

1. Let your ward EXPLORE and participate in the Wonder called Nature. Let him/her
fill with wonder for God's bounties bestowed on us.
2. Let your ward DISCOVER different cultures, traditions, cuisines, local crafts, etc. of
places that you visit during the vacation. Make your ward note down fine details.
3. ENCOURAGE your ward to pursue new hobbies, play games, learn to play an
instrument, try his/her hands at writing poetry or a blog, pick up some culinary skills,
read newspapers and magazines to keep abreast with current happenings.
4. Let your child READ books on different genres as Reading Makes a Full Man.
These may include story books, fiction, non-fiction, autobiographies, biographies etc.
5. Let your ward chalk out a timetable for his/her daily routine and let him/her
FOLLOW. This inculcates habit of being disciplined which will help him/her
throughout the life.
6. The School has also devised Holiday Homework that is linked to the curriculum and
is also creative. Do monitor the progress of your ward in completing the tasks given in
various disciplines. We wish your ward a very rejuvenating vacation and seek your
cooperation in all our endeavours as always.

Wish you and your child happy and fun-filled summer vacation.

Regards,

Principal
