EDITORIAL........

After the successful first edition of 2019-20 Which covered all the colourful

and vibrant events cherished by all the students right from KG to XII .The

emphasis was on the academics and cultural tempo which we maintain

throughout the year.

Here we are with our second edition which showcases a relatively different

outlook of our school and sings with a tone of victory and excellence. It

exhibits the sportsmanship, spirit of adventure, academic excellence, social

awareness, and unique talents of our students. This term, the students

displayed their talents, which they acquired through vigorous practice and

hard work under the persistent guidance of our teachers, at various Regional

and National events. They kept the flag of SAIS flying high with pride by

proudly wining several medals in various competitions like sports meets,

science exhibitions, essay writing competitions, spell bee, etc., proving the

fact that there is no substitute to hard work. Our students also actively

participated in numerous programmes that were conducted at the school level.

We at SAIS believe at educating students beyond the four walls of

classroom. A trip to Pondicherry for class VIII students was organised in

order to experience the divine nature and to the Indian Air Force’s terrain to

breathe the air of purity.

To sum up this edition is full of stories of valour and glory.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the participants and readers of this

magazine.

Most importantly we extend our gratitude to our school principal Chhala didi

who constantly encourages and supports us.

God of auspiciousness and divine omens.

TEACHERS’ DAY- 5th September 2019

“A teacher is a living encyclopaedia of knowledge and wisdom that guides us from darkness

to light. She touches our soul and makes her mark on our hearts with her divine care, love

and nurture.”

We celebrate the Teachers’ Day to commemorate the work done by Dr. Sarvepalli

Radhakrishnan, our former President of India, on his birthday. He was a profound philosopher and a

well-versed scholar. But he was widely recognised as a great teacher of the nation. So, on the day,

we paid homage to our beloved teachers for their tireless work.

As a part of our Teachers’ Day celebrations, we had a wide range of events through which

we acknowledged the relentless service of our teachers. The events are: the students of

class 10 acting as the teachers of the day, ethnic wear of teachers and students, and a

combined lunch for all the teachers where they treated themselves with exotic homemade

delicacies.
