Dear Parents Greetings! Climb every mountain, Ford every stream, Follow every rainbow, Till you find your dream. Long-awaited summer holidays are again ready to welcome you with warm showers. Summer holidays give a chance for students to relax during holidays. Give your kids memories to cherish. Explore and travel together. Let your children help you in doing daily chores. Don t forget to appreciate any family member for any good work that they have done; this teaches children to appreciate the work done by others. They also learn that there could be many ways to do one thing; each different but beautiful in their own essence. Make children responsible by giving them daily care-goals to achieve. These care-goals might mean taking care of their younger siblings, grandparents or even their pets. Motivate your wards to read poems, short stories and magazines in English that would in turn lead their minds to grow exclusively and in an effective manner.
