First word It hardly seems few days since August 2010 and now, here we are preparing to break up for the well deserved summer holidays. The exciting teaching and learning that have gone on in the past 10 months exhibit the hard work and dedication of the whole school till the very last minute. We have successfully completed a very vibrant and rewarding session with all the activities that took place in addition to everyday lessons. I am proud to be the head of such a thriving school community that comprises of talented learners, supportive parents and fabulous staff members. I am sure that as you read the contents of this newsletter you will feel the same pride as I do. I highly appreciate and value your comments and suggestions. I would be pleased to hear from you, kindly contact me at jabeennazima@gmail.com or over the school phone; you can also meet me during school visiting hours with a pre-scheduled appointment. I wish you all a very happy and restful break with your families during the school holidays. Yours sincerely, Ms. Nazima Jabeen Senior Mistress Incharge
Good Bye Students of Class III bid farewell to Billy, our cute little teddy which came from Carol Stream Elementary School U.S.A. It was sent by Ms. Monika Rosa and her children of grade II. During his stay in Pakistan, Billy celebrated his birthday with NNP1, visited students’ homes, attended traditional Pakistani weddings, played online games and participated in Earth Day Celebrations as well. Children were sad while saying him good bye but they are also waiting for their exchanged Teddy to come back .
