Pre-Primary Parents Meet
The Pre-Primary organized a get-together for the parents who joined us this year, as well as for those who have been connected with us for a long time. It was an occasion to express our gratitude to all the parents, as they are the strong bridge between our children and teachers.
On this special occasion, our respected Principal Ma’am shared her gratitude through her inspiring words. The teachers and children also sang songs to express their love and affection towards the parents. One of the most beautiful parts of the program was that all the parents enthusiastically participated in the games planned by the teachers and children. We also kept a surprise for the kids by arranging new rides for them. Time passed so quickly that we wished the event could continue longer, but we are sure that both parents and teachers are eagerly waiting for many more such events in the future.
Last week was also the closing week for the children before the summer break. It ended with a fun-filled games and party day. Children came in their favourite clothes and brought their favourite food to share with their friends. Teachers planned enjoyable games and activities for them. Overall, it was a cheerful and memorable beginning to the summer break.

Report of the Primary Section 
Saturday, 16th May 2026, was the last day of school before Summer Break, so it was a fun day for the students. The day started with a sports lesson where students played different games. Then, students of Class V A made sandwiches, bhel, pani puri, and lemon juice in the class. They shared their dishes with teachers and students. Students brought all materials required from their homes. All students enjoyed this activity. Then they had a dance lesson. Students danced to different songs and were very happy. All the students were very happy and went home with a smile on their faces.
Yoga Session for Teachers
A refreshing yoga session was organized today for the teachers of our school to promote physical and mental well-being. The session focused on relaxation, breathing techniques, and stress management.
The session was conducted by Deepak Sir and Prem Sir, who guided the teachers through various yoga and pranayama activities with great enthusiasm.
Teachers actively participated in breathing exercises such as Sitali Pranayam and Sitkari Pranayam, which are known for their calming and cooling effects on the body and mind. The instructors also explained the importance of regular yoga practice for maintaining good health, concentration, and inner peace.
The session created a peaceful and positive atmosphere, helping teachers feel relaxed, refreshed, and motivated. Such wellness activities play an important role in promoting a healthy and positive school environment.
Short Videos, Long Stress — When One More Clip Becomes Three Hours
You open your phone to watch just one short video. Then another appears. Then another. Before you even realize it, three hours are gone. You tell yourself, “Just one more clip,” but that one clip slowly turns into a whole evening wasted on scrolling.
Today, reels and shorts are everywhere. They are quick and exciting, which is exactly why they are so hard to stop watching. For students, this can become a serious problem. After a long school day, scrolling through short videos feels relaxing at first, but it often steals time from homework, sleep, and even real conversations with family and friends.
These short-form videos are designed to keep our attention. Every few days, there is a new joke, trend, or song. Our brains get used to these bad habits, such as doomscrolling. Because of this, studying a chapter, reading a book, or solving math problems can start to feel boring and tiring. Slowly, our attention span becomes shorter without us noticing.
Another problem is sleep. Many students scroll late at night, thinking it will help them relax. Instead, the bright screen and constant excitement keep the brain active. Less sleep means less focus in class, weaker memory, and more stress before exams. I think many students do not realize how much time disappears while scrolling.
So why is it so difficult to stop? One reason is autoplay — the next video starts before we even think about it. Another reason is that scrolling becomes a habit during free moments, like while eating, travelling, or taking study breaks. When we are bored or stressed, watching short videos feels like an easy escape.
I think short videos are not completely bad. Some are creative, educational, and really entertaining. The real problem begins when entertainment controls our time rather than when we control it. Watching a few videos is fine, but losing hours every day can slowly affect our studies, health, and peace of mind.
The modern generation can try small changes to avoid this habit. Setting a time limit, turning off notifications, or keeping the phone away while studying can help a lot. Even spending time outdoors, talking to friends, or listening to music can feel more refreshing than doomscrolling.
In the end, the biggest challenge is not the phone itself — it is learning self-control in a world full of distractions. One short clip may seem harmless, but too many can quietly steal our focus, sleep, and energy. Sometimes the best thing we can do is simply put the phone down and return to real life.

The Hidden Burden: Unmasking Student Stress
In today's competitive world, student life is no longer as simple as it once seemed. Behind smiling faces and report cards, many students silently struggle with stress, pressure, and self-doubt. What looks like normal academic life from the outside often feels overwhelming on the inside.
One of the biggest reasons for stress is the obsession with marks and exams. Students are constantly told that good grades decide their future. As a result, exams become more than just tests of knowledge; they become tests of worth. Many students stay awake late at night, sacrificing sleep and peace of mind just to meet expectations. The fear of failure slowly turns confidence into anxiety.
Parental and societal pressure make the situation even worse. Some parents compare their children with relatives, classmates, or toppers without realizing the emotional damage it causes. Society praises achievement but rarely talks about mental health. Students often feel that no matter how hard they try, they are still not enough. This unhealthy race for perfection leaves little room for happiness. 
Another major issue is the lack of balance in students' lives. Schools encourage participation in sports, competitions, cultural activities, and academics all at once. While these activities are important, managing everything together becomes exhausting. Many students barely get enough rest and slowly lose motivation. Instead of enjoying learning, they begin to see education as a burden.
Social media has also become a hidden source of stress. Platforms meant for entertainment now create unhealthy comparisons. Students constantly see others showing achievements, expensive lifestyles, or perfect lives online. This creates insecurity and lowers self-esteem. Cyberbullying and negative comments further damage confidence, especially among teenagers.
What is most concerning is that student stress is often ignored. Many students hesitate to speak openly because they fear being judged as weak or lazy. Mental health discussions are still not taken seriously in many schools and families. This silence makes the burden even heavier.
To solve this problem, students need support, understanding, and balance. Parents should encourage rather than pressure. Teachers should focus not only on marks but also on students' emotional well-being. Schools must provide counseling services, stress-management workshops, and safe spaces where students can speak freely without fear. 
Students, too, must learn that success is not measured only by grades. Taking breaks, exercising, pursuing hobbies, and spending time with loved ones are equally important for a healthy mind. A balanced student is far more likely to succeed than an exhausted one.
 Student stress is not a small issue, as it is a growing reality that demands attention. By recognizing these hidden struggles and creating supportive environments, we can ensure that students do not merely survive their school years but truly grow and thrive through them.

Interview with Mrs. Manju Shekhawat, PGT English  
(Reporter: Soumyajeet Solanki - SSI)
SSI: Good morning, ma’am. How are you feeling after joining this school?
MST: Good Morning. I am feeling very happy and excited to be a part of this school. This is my first year here, and every new place brings new experiences and challenges. I truly enjoy interacting with students and learning more about the school environment every day.
SSI: Could you please introduce yourself to us?
MST: I have been teaching for almost 22 years, and teaching has always been my passion. I believe a teacher not only teaches subjects but also helps students grow as confident individuals. I try to maintain a friendly bond with students while also keeping the respect between a teacher and a student.
SSI: What inspired you to become an English teacher?
MST: English is a language that connects people across the world. I always loved reading, speaking, and expressing ideas through language. Slowly, I realized that teaching English would allow me to help students become confident communicators and better thinkers.
SSI: How would you approach shy or weak students in English and help them?
MST: I believe every child learns differently. I first try to understand their fear and make them comfortable in class. I encourage them to speak without worrying about mistakes because mistakes are part of learning. With patience, regular practice, and motivation, students slowly gain confidence.
SSI: What motivates you every day to remain passionate about your job as an English teacher?
MST: The biggest motivation for me is my students. Seeing a shy student become confident or a weak student improve gives me happiness and satisfaction. Even today, many of my previous students stay connected with me, and that makes me feel proud as a teacher.
SSI: Do you believe that technology can help students in any way to become better at English?
MST: Yes, definitely. Technology has made learning more interesting and interactive. Students can improve their vocabulary, pronunciation, and communication skills through videos, audiobooks, and educational apps. However, technology should be used wisely and in balance with regular reading and practice.
SSI: Lastly, what message would you like to give to the students of the school?
MST: Never be afraid of making mistakes because mistakes help us learn and grow. Believe in yourself, stay disciplined, and keep learning something new every day. Most importantly, always respect your teachers, parents, and your own dreams.
