Dear Shishyans

Namaste

We are sure you all are familiar with the proverb ‘Absence makes the heart grow fonder’.

Well, this is exactly the case with us ...our inability to be together in school has indeed made us fonder of each of you and made us realize, once more, how important you are to all of us . You enrich our lives in so many ways and we learn from you just as you learn from us.

We hope you and every member of your family is fine. Take care of yourself and find time to connect with your family members. Make yourself useful at home by doing small chores, be it laying the table, folding your clothes, watering the plants, etc.

In order to ensure that you are fruitfully occupied at home we have decided to send you worksheets every week. Do them carefully in any old notebook or sheets of papers that are available at home. The answers will be sent to you the following week along with a new worksheet.

So get started and let's hope the good times resume soon.

Remember, however grim the situation may seem, the world will bloom once again and so will every bud in Shishukunj !
