Father’s have always being the role model and mentor for daughters. A father may not be the Sun or the Moon that can illuminate the entire sky. He is a fireplace who can keep us warm even in the coldest of the nights.

Keeping this spirit of gratitude in mind, students of Class II showed love towards their fathers and made a beautiful pen stand for them. The students enthusiastically participated and the little hands had great fun. |

Someone has rightly said, “Earth Day should encourage us to reflect on what we are doing to make our planet a more sustainable and liveable place.”
Keeping this thought in mind, cute fledglings of Class 2 made beautiful wall hangings and wrote some interesting ways to make our planet a better place to live in. It was a fun filled, hands-on activity which made them understand that our natural resources are limited and there’s a desperate need to spread awareness on how to use them judiciously. |

*The Earth does not belong to us, we belong to the Earth*.
Each year, 22nd of April is celebrated as Earth Day. It is celebrated to create awareness about protecting our planet and preserving the environment. Although, only one special day is dedicated for this cause, it is the continuous effort of each individual, including children that would really make a difference. Like every year, students of St. Mark's Girls Sr. Secondary School, decided to take a pledge to make a lifestyle change that would impact not only those within the school but also the community outside of the school. Also, Kesholoy, the Eco Club of our school has taken an initiative to sensitise students about the necessity of conserving wetlands by a series of activities which included poster making for Classes VI to VIII and slogan writing for Classes IX-XII. The students enjoyed themselves a lot while doing the activities. |
