“The end of this year is not a full stop, but a comma in your journey.”

Annual PTM Highlights (Classes I to XII) 

The school recently (29th March) held a Parent–Teacher Meeting to share the final term results and discuss each student’s overall progress. During the PTM, teachers shared individual progress reports, highlighting students’ strengths as well as areas needing improvement in academics, behavior, and class participation. Parents were encouraged to ask questions, share concerns, and discuss strategies to support their child’s learning at home. Feedback from parents was largely positive, with appreciation for the teachers’ efforts and the clear communication about performance. Many parents agreed to reinforce reading, homework routines, and values such as discipline and responsibility at home. The meeting concluded with a reminder that the partnership between parents and teachers plays a vital role in shaping students’ overall development. The school invites all parents to continue this open dialogue through regular PTMs in the coming session.

Annual Day Practice in Full Swing

The school is all set for its much‑anticipated Annual Day, scheduled for 10th April, and the preparations are in full swing. The playground and stage have been transformed into a hive of activity, with students of all grades enthusiastically participating in rehearsals every day. 

From little ones in the primary section to the senior students, everyone is busy practising their songs, dances, skits, and recitations under the watchful eyes of their teachers.

Practice sessions are being held during regular school hours, with students arriving in proper rehearsal attire and staying focused and disciplined throughout. 

Teachers are giving individual attention to each child, helping them improve their expressions, timing, and coordination. Special attention is also being given to stage décor, lighting, and sound checks so that the final performance is smooth and visually appealing.

Parents are encouraged to support their children by ensuring they reach rehearsals on time and get enough rest. The enthusiasm, creativity, and teamwork on display during these rehearsals are a clear sign that the Annual Day on 10th April will be a delightful and memorable celebration for students, parents, and staff alike.

World Theatre Day – Celebrating the Magic of the Stage

On 27th March, the world observes World Theatre Day, a day dedicated to celebrating the art of theatre, performance, and storytelling on stage. This global observance highlights the power of drama, music, and expression to bring people together and share meaningful messages. For our students, World Theatre Day holds special significance as they are currently engaged in Annual Day rehearsals. Through their songs, dances, and skits, they are already experiencing the joy and discipline of theatre—learning to speak clearly, express emotions, and work as a team on the stage. World Theatre Day reminds us that every performance, big or small, is an opportunity for children to grow in confidence, creativity, and communication. As our young performers prepare for the Annual Day on 10th April, we celebrate their hard work and enthusiasm and look forward to seeing their talents shine on stage. Happy World Theatre Day to our young performers and the entire school family!

 Discipline: The Key to Success 

Hello! My name is Ali Arvish. Today, I am going to share my thoughts on discipline. Discipline plays a very important role in our lives. Without discipline, we cannot live a successful life. Discipline is the key to opening all doors of greatness and success.

Story: Sushant’s Lesson

In the quiet village of Willowcrest, a boy named Sushant lived with his family. He had a kind heart, helped everyone, and respected all. But Sushant had a big problem—he lacked discipline. He slept late, skipped studies, played too much, and avoided work. His parents warned him: "Sushant, without discipline, you will never succeed." The villagers said the same. Sushant laughed. "Life is fun only if I do what I want," he thought. In the village lived a wise old woman, Grandma, known for her simplicity and discipline. One day, Sushant sat under a tree to rest after playing. He saw Grandma teaching children. She said, "Discipline is the greatest strength—it makes a person great."Sushant wondered: Is discipline really greater than strength, money, and intelligence? After class, he asked her, "Is discipline really so important? Can someone succeed without it?" Grandma smiled and said, "You will know tomorrow. Come to me before sunrise." Sushant agreed. The rooster crowed. Sushant wanted to stay in bed, but he remembered Grandma's words and fought his laziness. Finally, he got up and went to her. Grandma said, "You have won your first victory—over laziness. This is the hardest battle."She took him to the fields. Farmers worked hard under the rising sun—some ploughed, some sowed seeds, some guided oxen. Grandma said, "See, Sushant. These farmers wake up early every day. If they skip work, their crops suffer. Discipline is their secret to success."Then Sushant understood—discipline is the most important thing in life. Now, Sushant wakes up early, works hard, and studies hard. At age 29, he is a big businessman. He went to Grandma's home and thanked her.

Moral: Discipline is very important in our lives. Without it, we cannot achieve success.

 समय का सदुपयोग (Value Your Time) 

समय बहुत कीमती होता है। यह सभी के लिए समान रूप से मिलता है, लेकिन जो लोग इसका सही उपयोग करते हैं, वे ही जीवन में सफलता प्राप्त करते हैं। समय को व्यर्थ न गंवाकर हमें इसका सदुपयोग करना चाहिए।समय का सदुपयोग करने का मतलब है कि हम अपने कार्यों को सही समय पर पूरा करें और किसी भी महत्वपूर्ण अवसर को न गंवाएं। ऐसा करने से हमारा जीवन सार्थक और सफल बनता है।समय यदि निकल जाए, तो वापस नहीं आता। इसलिए, हमें हमेशा समय का मान करना चाहिए और उसे व्यर्थ में नहीं गंवाना चाहिए। समय की कद्र करने वाले व्यक्ति सभी क्षेत्रों में आगे बढ़ते हैं। इसलिए, समय का महत्व समझना प्रत्येक व्यक्ति के लिए आवश्यक है।इसलिए, समय का सदुपयोग करके हम न केवल अपनी सफलता सुनिश्चित करते हैं, बल्कि समाज और अपने परिवार के लिए भी उपयोगी बनते हैं।

 Honesty: directly proportional to Respect 

Honesty means having moral principles to which a person sticks forever. When a person is honest, the first principle is not to compromise with anything wrong. Being honest means keeping the truth on top of everything. 

As humans, we all love the feeling of being respected. Respect itself is a great value of kindness that everyone should learn. Respect will bring a lot of change in one's life. A polite, kind & helpful person gets respected.

An incident in class, where there was a child in class who was always shy to express himself in front of the whole class. There were times when a teacher forced that kid to answer and express himself in front of everyone. The teacher observed the child for 2 weeks. After that, she decided to bring out the best in that child. Later on, she started making him speak, read, and explain whichever topic he felt was easy. She practiced this for a week, and every time he answered something, the teacher used to appreciate him, and with this, the child started taking more and more part in class activities. This built confidence and made him respected more in class. Kids in class are honest in any situation; the only thing is that we as teachers should try to make them express themselves to get respect. Also, when these kids start getting respect, they automatically start building honesty. No one will be dishonest to any other because gaining respect is not easy, and once we get that respect and appreciation for our work, we always try to keep things going.

Final Exams in Full Swing!

The Final Exam for all classes started on 6th March. Students were busy doing revision and clearing doubts with their respective teachers. During exam time, all were busy writing their exams.

Practice Makes Perfect (अभ्यास से सब कुछ संभव!)

करत-करत अभ्यास से जड़मति होत सुजान।

जीवन में अभ्यास और परिश्रम का बहुत महत्व है। किसी भी कार्य को सफलता के लिए निरंतर अभ्यास की बहुत आवश्यकता है। जिस प्रकार रस्सी के बार-बार घर्षण से कुएँ पर निशान बन जाते हैं, इस प्रकार बार-बार अभ्यास करने से मूर्ख भी विद्वान बन जाते हैं। बहुत कम लोगों में जन्मजात प्रतिभा देखने को मिलती है। बाकी लोग अपने निरंतर अभ्यास और प्रयास के बल पर ही ज्ञान की प्राप्ति कर पाते हैं। कभी-कभी प्रतिभाशाली विद्यार्थी भी परिश्रम के अभाव से असफल हो जाते हैं, और साधारण विद्यार्थी अपने कठोर परिश्रम के बल पर सफलता प्राप्त कर लेते हैं।कालिदास महान विद्वान बन सके। बालक वरदराज पढ़ता नहीं था। गुरु जोत्स्नाचार्य ने उसे आश्रम से निकाल दिया, लेकिन रास्ते में कुएँ पर रस्सी के निशान देखकर वह सोचने लगा कि यदि एक रस्सी पत्थर पर बार-बार घिसकर निशान बन सकती है, तो क्या मैं बार-बार अभ्यास करके पढ़ नहीं सकता? वह सोचते हुए फिर आश्रम गया और अपने निरंतर अभ्यास से बड़ा होकर प्रकांड पंडित बना। उसने लघु सिद्धांतकौमुदी नामक व्याकरण की रचना की। अतः सफलता, विद्या, बल और बुद्धि—सारी चीजें निरंतर अभ्यास से प्राप्त की जा सकती हैं।

Roaring Heroes: Tigers of Ranthambore National Park

Hello, Class V adventurers! Deep in Rajasthan's jungles lies Ranthambore National Park—home to the mighty tiger! These striped kings prowl with glowing amber eyes and powerful paws. A tiger's roar echoes like thunder, warning everyone: "This is my home!" They can leap 10 meters in one bound and swim across rivers. Females raise cubs, teaching them to hunt sneaky deer and peacocks. Ranthambore's tigers live among ancient forts and shimmering lakes. But poachers and shrinking forests threaten them—only about 70 tigers roam there today! We can be heroes by saying no to plastic and supporting parks. Imagine a tiger safari: spotting stripes in the golden grass!

 In Loving Memory of Our Dear Takshika from Class IV A 

In the heart of our Fabindia School family, we bid farewell to Takshika Parmar, a bright spark from Class IV A whose laughter lit our classrooms. Taken too soon by health challenges, her loss reminds us of life's fragility and our deep bonds.

 On February 28, 2026, we gathered for the assembly. Raj Ma'am shared, "She was a ray of sunshine, teaching us to embrace joy in every moment." Her words evoked Takshika's curiosity, eager hand in class, and infectious smile. In solidarity, we observed two minutes of silence—teachers and students united in tears, prayers, and promises to carry her light forward. Takshika, you taught us resilience and kindness. Your memory lives on in our stories and hearts.

Rest in peace, little one. Our school embraces Takshika's family and Class IV A with love and support.

 How I Grew This Year 

This year, I have seen many positive changes in myself. Earlier, I was a little lazy and sometimes got angry quickly. But now, I try to control my anger and stay calm in different situations. I have also become more responsible and always complete my work on time. I started focusing on my fitness, and because of that, I feel more active and confident. One big achievement was speaking in the School Assembly. Before, I was very nervous to speak in front of everyone, but now I feel more confident and comfortable. My English has also improved, and I am not as shy as I was before while speaking. I have also understood people better this year. Now, I can clearly see which friends truly support me. Overall, this year has helped me grow mentally and personally, and I feel proud of my progress.

Class V Masters Conjunctions with a Fun Twist!

On Saturday, February 22, Class V students at The Fabindia School dove into the exciting world of conjunctions during a hands-on activity session. Led by their enthusiastic English teacher, the children explored words like "and," "but," "or," and "because" through interactive games and group challenges. The highlight was a "Conjunction Chain Story" where students built silly sentences together: "I wanted to play outside, but it started raining, so we read books and shared jokes or drew pictures." Laughter filled the room as teams raced to create the longest, most creative chains without repeating words! This activity not only sharpened their grammar skills but also boosted teamwork and creativity. "Conjunctions make our stories flow better!" shared one beaming student. 

Well done, Class V—keep connecting those ideas!

 My Experience of Gaining Confidence 

I am an average girl who was always afraid of speaking in front of people. Public speaking made me nervous, and I avoided talking in class because I lacked confidence.

One day, my English Teacher, Nikita Ma'am, gave me an opportunity to present a speech in front of the whole class. At first, I was scared and unsure, but I decided to accept the challenge. To prepare myself, I practiced seriously. I recorded my speech on video many times, watched it, and corrected my mistakes. I read and understood each paragraph carefully so that I could speak with clarity and confidence.

On the day of the presentation, I was nervous before starting. However, as soon as I began speaking, I slowly started feeling confident. When I finished my speech, I felt proud of myself because I knew I had tried my best.

After the presentation, my teacher praised me and said that I had improved a lot. She even encouraged me to speak in the school assembly and in front of the junior class. This appreciation motivated me greatly.

Through this experience, I became more confident and willing to speak in public. I learned that confidence grows with practice, courage, and the support of a good teacher.

 Interview with Mrs. Manju Kawar(Parent) 

Reporter- Siddhi Solanki

(Reporter as RP, MKR as Manju Kawar)

RP: How would you describe the teachers and staff?

MKR: I would describe the teachers and staff as caring, supportive, and dedicated to the students' overall growth. They create a safe and positive environment where children feel comfortable asking questions and expressing themselves. The teachers are approachable and patient, giving individual attention whenever needed and encouraging students to do their best academically as well as personally.

RP: Are you happy with the extracurricular activities offered?

MKR: I am generally happy with the extracurricular activities offered. They provide children with opportunities to explore their interests beyond academics and help in developing important life skills like teamwork, confidence, creativity, and discipline. I especially appreciate the variety of options available, such as sports, arts, and cultural activities, which allow every child to find something they enjoy.

RP: Do you have any suggestions for the school?

MKR: I would like to suggest that the school place more focus on improving discipline among students. Discipline helps children develop responsibility, respect for others, and better learning habits, which are essential for their future.

I also believe the school should encourage the use of polite and respectful language in everyday interactions. Teaching students to communicate respectfully will help create a positive and supportive environment for everyone. With stronger emphasis on these areas, the school can further enhance students’ overall character development.

 Abraham Lincoln's Birthday: From Log Cabin to Legacy (February 12, 1809) 

Orphaned Abe split rails by day, read by candlelight at night, dreaming beyond his frontier shack. Facing war and doubt, he freed the enslaved, declaring all worthy of liberty. Today, his words rally us: Persevere, and poverty bows to purpose. The Tall Man's Triumph

From humble wood to freedom's throne,

Abe rose tall, though seeds were sown

In hardship's soil—now hear his call:

Build your bridge, and nations fall!

Ignite your spark: Like Lincoln, turn trials into triumphs, leading with an unyielding heart.

 Understanding Climate Change 

Climate change is one of the biggest global problems faced by the world today. It refers to long-term changes in the Earth's temperature and weather patterns. Over the past few decades, the average temperature of the planet has increased rapidly due to human activities. This change is affecting nature, human life, and the environment in many harmful ways.

Causes of Climate Change 

The main cause of climate change is global warming, which happens due to an increase in greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and nitrous oxide (N₂O) in the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the Sun and increase the Earth's temperature.

 Pulwama Tribute: A Mother's Unsung Letter 

पुलवामा की अमर लौ: एक माँ का अनसुना पत्र

प्रिय मेरे लाल, 

मेरे शहीद जवानों, तुम्हारी मिट्टी से सनी वो वर्दी आज भी मेरे सीने से लगी है। 14 फरवरी 2019—वो काला दिन जब पुलवामा की वादियों में 40 फूलों का कत्ल हो गया। CRPF के वीर बेटों, तुम बस ड्यूटी पर थे, पर आतंक की गोलियों ने छीन लिया तुम्हें हमसे। आंसुओं की नदी बहती है, पर तुम्हारी हंसी याद आती है—चाय की चुस्की लेते, बच्चों को कंधे पर बिठाते।सपने में आते हो ना? कहते हो, "माँ, रोना मत—हमारा खून देश की मिट्टी में मिल गया, अब हर बच्चा हमारा वारिस बनेगा।" कल्पना लो: एक अनाथ सी लड़की रिया, पुलवामा के स्कूल में खड़ी होकर कसम खाती है, "चाचा जैसा हौसला दिखाऊंगी, देश को कभी झुकने न दूंगी!" तुम्हारा दर्द अब आग है—जो जागृत करेगी लाखों दिलों को।ये पत्र नहीं, हमारा संकल्प है: तुम्हारी शहादत व्यर्थ न जाएगी। जियो हम, तुम्हारे नाम!

अनंत प्रेम से, 

एक भारतीय माँ की आत्मा
