SUMMER HOLIDAY HOMEWORK 2018-19

CLASS :- X

Dear Parents,
Warm Greetings

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. But
life needs to be balanced between fun and work. There are plenty of productive
ways that your ward can spend the vacation which can be fun, relaxing and helpful
for his/her education or career. Motivate your wards to interact with
knowledgeable books that would in turn lead their minds to grow exclusively and
in an effective manner. We wish to imbibe in our students the willingness to spend
their summer vacation well; making optimum utilization of time, following their
heart's passion and also at the same time enhancing their academic knowledge. I
hope you can cooperate closely with school, and be positive and responsible to
arrange the students' summer life. Holiday HW will also be available on the school
website. Students must complete their holiday homework and submit it on June
18, 2018 positively.

The school will re-open on June 18, 2018 at usual timings.

Wishing to see your child after the summer break with a broader
outlook and positive attitude.

With good wishes
