FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Dear Readers, A warm welcome to all of you to the 7th edition of YOUNG MINDS and the first for the academic year 2012-13. I am honoured and indeed very privileged to introduce myself as the Editor of Young Minds this year. Here, I would like to thank Mrs. Vijaya Joshi M’am and Mrs. Geeta Pillai M’am for having the faith in me to start from where Mrs. Archana Hulawale (our previous editor) had stopped. I would also like to introduce Shreya Nair of Class X as the Student Editor, whose contribution to the editorial has been fantastic.
EDURITE CERTIFIED TEACHERS
We extend a warm welcome to the parents of our Standard I children and also to the parents and children across all grades who have join the INS family this year. We will continue to provide a solid foundation for quality education in an environment of diversity leading to academic excellence and holistic development of every child entrusted in our care. The interest that you as readers have shown over the past two years has encouraged us to be more creative and we hope that in the editions to come, you will find very educative, encouraging, challenging and entertaining articles contributed by none other than YOU! The newsletter last year was highly appreciated by the parents and children as it showcased some of the hidden talents of our children. It has a wide range of information like student articles, jokes, paintings. We believe that every child possesses the ability to express what they see and hear around them in different ways. Children like to see their articles in print. They like to see their names in print. So, they feel encouraged to build themselves as poets, play-wrights, essayists and artists. It will be our constant endeavor to stir the urge in each and every one of them. Putting together the newsletter for me has been a learning experience and what an experience at that! The newsletter will be a window for the readers to peep into the world of Indira and get to know the efforts and achievements of the staff and students in academics, sports and co-curricular activities. We are proud to announce the results of the first batch of STD. X who have made us proud by not only securing good CGPA’s but also by giving the school a 100% result. Kudos to them and their teachers for the superb results.
Indira National School teamed up with Edurite - a leading provider of endto-end solutions in the education sector. Since its inception in 2000, it has emerged as the brand of choice for students/parents, teachers, schools and colleges. Since we are using the interactive teaching methodology of teaching, one batch of our teachers appeared for the Edurite exams and got themselves “EDURITE CERTIFIED”.
INDIRA'S SHINING STARS
You can expect every edition of the newsletter to be associated with a different theme. This edition of the newsletter is dedicated to Mother Nature. I welcome you all to enjoy the newsletter and share your opinions and valuable thoughts with us. I hope all our readers will find the newsletter very informative and entertaining. Hoping to have your kind support and encouragement all through.

THE EDITORIAL EXPERIENCE Student Editor of the school newsletter! I was absolutely thrilled when I was chosen for this job among so many other likely contenders. I just love the job. Reading and writing have always been my passion and I enjoy them immensely. So, I had the utmost pleasure editing articles for the newsletter. I am happy to say that the response from the students was terrific. I went to each class to ask the students to contribute to the newsletter and was really pleased that everyone obliged. The number of contributions we received made it really difficult for us to pick the ones for this edition. I am grateful to everyone for their efforts without which this would not have been possible. I would like to thank the editor, Mrs. Gayatri Raut for her tremendous support and encouragement. This was a great learning experience for me and I enjoyed it throughly. This edition is an amalgamation of all our efforts and I hope I have done and will continue to do justice to my duty.
