PrinciPals message
Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardour and attended to with diligence. The grooming of the child into a complete individual having sterling qualities of head and heart should be our joint concern. I solicit the co-operation of our parents to usher that futuristic vision, coloured by the spirit to forge ahead while making learning alive, vibrant and truly progressive for our children. We sincerely hope that this edition of the newsletter helps you unwind your creativity by opening a window to the charismatic world of Modern Public School. This newsletter encapsulates the fantasies of innocent dreamers who dared to take a flight on the wings of fantasy and express their innermost thoughts. The indefatigable perseverance and efforts have resulted in the progression of the school in all areas. I would also like to express my thanks to all our staff members for their dedication, hard work, discipline, and creative innovation that has helped in taking the school to newer heights. I believe that in the years to come, armed with commitment and perseverance in the pursuit of knowledge and education, the school will continue to prosper and serve the country for His glory.
May the warmth and splendor, that are a part of this auspicious occasion of Diwali fill your life with happiness and bright cheer, and bring to you joy and prosperity, for the whole year .Last, but not the least, my best wishes to the school, its staff and students, all the parents, and all those associated with this institution.

ONE DAY
One day I will be all grown up. And ready for a job. May be Ill be a T V reporter, Like my uncle Bob. Or may be Ill be a football star. And sign my name for fans. Or maybe Ill be a singer in a famous band. Or maybe Ill be an astronaut And fly in outer space. Or may be Ill be a doctor Like my cousin ace. Ashna Srivastava II B
Fruits ! Yummy ! I simply love eating them. Mangoes, oranges, bananas, give me all I can finish them in a minute. Fruits make me healthy and strong. They keep me active in the class . Daily in the school before my lunch break, I get a fruit break . Bringing a fruit daily in my school is must. I never miss it. My mother makes it sure to give me daily and I make sure to gobble it up fast. Siddharth Guleria III D

FAST FOOD HAZARDS The life style of children has gone a vast change, as my mother says. We have become our own masters. We love spicy and delicious fast food. The Overeating this type of food makes us fat, very fat. With heavy body we cannot run and we cannot enjoy playing outside. Because of this habit only one of my classmates has become a diabetic. My parents and teachers had always advised me to avoid harmful junk food and drinks. I have decided to pay serious attention to that. Now I understand that this yummy junk food is very bad for my tummy.

IF I WERE A FOOTBALL Football is very good to play with. But if I were a football I would be kicked thousands times a day. How painful it would be. Kicked here, kicked there with only goalkeeper to take care. No, I dont want to be a football. I can be anything but certainly not the football. Bhavneet Kaur III-B

SILENT DEEDS
When weariness of life distresses us The great magician blesses us He has no voice Yet He whispers to millions He has no ears Yet HE listens to billions His presence is unleft Yet that sense sublime dwells in everything He is unseen Yet His divine spark is in every being If detested is your reflection He will sprinkle some affection Before any request our wish is granted Without any condition we get what we wanted He bestows upon his benevolence This kindness further should be shared With less fortunate, deprived and wearied Silently let the stream of mercy flow Never let the other hand even know A moment of concentrated prayer will do What hours of shouting failed to do Theres no special time or age for devotion Little acts of charity, a few loving words Conceiving and considering others emotions To pay off debts what all we got Grab and avail the present hour Lest were labeled as an ungrateful lot . Garima IX C
One frequently hears from the elders that the children of today are going astray because their schools fail to help them build their character. However, there can be no doubt that the country needs a strong value education system which would inoculate among the students universal values and would result in their all-round development. Some people believe-Values are not taught, they are caught. But I think the statement has a two-sided view. Values cannot be taught by mere dictation but there should be a unique and a devised way of teaching by mixing values with the environment. Since I am an adolescent, I feel the need to raise the problems and worries of my peers. Definitely most of us feel that values are seeping and crime rate is increasing in this age group. Stanley Halls, a famous psychologist calls adolescence as a period of stress and strain. It is a crucial time in an individuals life when one faces new challenges, learn new skills and lead more independent lives. At this stage youth is striving for an identity with himself and in the society. They are curious to peep out of the window to the outer world and in execution of their adventurous ideas end up in their committing severe crimes. Of course, during adolescence risk taking behavior is more common. In their teens young people may experiment with illicit drugs, drink alcohol while underage or drive vehicles without a license or before reaching the legal age limit. Young people may also congregate in public places and engage in behaviour that is anti-social or a public nuisance. Todays educated youth is also committing crimes and definitely we have to put a big halt on it. But, through value educationit doesnt sound to be appropriate. It is said that Families must work together to bridge whatever is missing their childrens life. The key to the problem of violence among the youth is only based on spiritual and family values. Love and trust are not the only words, but principles, that if followed and drummed into the young ones at early stages will provide a foundation for the rest of their lives. But such big words dont suit our youngsters. The foundation can never be strongas values are inbuilt, and they cannot be inculcated. From the above it is crystal clear that value education is not the only way to reduce crime rate among educated youth. The real essence of values is in adopting them in our day to day lives. Crime can surely be excavated from society and youth, what is required a strong will. -KESHAV DINGLIWALA (STUDENT EDITOR) X-B
