spring in their feet were seen bouncing towards their classes for a new
beginning. Students were seen flipping through the pages of their new
books and surfing a cursory glance either in appreciation or apprehension!

away the time as a way of celebration for the beginning of a new year!
Our New Principal Ms. Deepika Tandon joined on Tuesday, 1st April. Since the school was closed for that day, she was welcomed by Mr. Atul Bhatt (Manager Training and Development).
On her first assembly on Wednesday, 2nd April, after introducing herself, she related her own student life and the lessons she has learnt from those years. She encouraged all to change the campus language to an English speaking one. Whether in broken phrases or sentences, she encouraged all to support each other in this effort by not laughing on those who would try to speak in English. She comes from a rich background of 25 years - she has taught in schools like The Scinda School, Mayo College, Mayo College Girls School, India International School, Jaipur and few ore. Her passion is teaching and empowering teachers and students to drive the school to new heights. Apart from running the newsletter for Scindia for 10 years, she has done the Round Square newsletter called Echo for 5 years. TFS welcomes her and wishes her a very rewarding tenure.
The whole week has been a busy one with everyone getting new books, new classes and new teachers for a new session. Book store has been a hub of activity with parents buying uniforms and books and submitting fees in office.

Arts
Everyone
knows it is a subject for the one who is interested in literature but I know
and you also know that today art is considered a subject for losers. Is
literature for losers? Is learning literature, a wasteful thing? If it is so,
then why do we study English and Grammar? Teachers always tell us that whatever
we learn is useful. Here or somewhere else, in one's life these things will
help. Many of us would like to take Arts as it is the subject of interest but
parents want us to take Math or Science for they say that there is no scope in
Arts? It is only for those who do not want to study. Our society has labeled a
statement that "Arts is for losers". Whatever the people say I am
going to take Arts as I want to become an actor when I grow up.
