How to Develop Good Habits and Good Manners During Vacation

Hey Kids !

Summer Vacation is a welcome break……  Break from fixed schedule, rules & regulations of school, freedom from Teachers and time table. Freedom brings more responsibility, keeping this in mind, we have planned most of the activities for you to keep you engaged positively and your energies well directed. Though teachers will not be physically present to keep a supervisory eye on you and your work. Guardian Angels at home i.e. your dear mama and papa are there to take care of your emotional, social, physical & academic needs.

We hope your home work and activities will be well managed and presented so that all of you earn a golden star  as a grade.

We wish you a wonderful time ahead!
