All of us do not have equal talents. But all of us have an equal opportunity to develop our talents-Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam

Dear Parents, Greetings. A school is a World in miniature where one receives Training for life. It is here that we learn the lessons of life to accept challenges face competitions, defeats and failures and rejoice at victory and triumphs.

At City International School, Wanowrie our aim is not only to help the children to pursue academic excellence but also to motivate the students to be lifelong learners, critical thinkers and productive members of an ever changing global society. To sensitize our students on the qualities like love, care, affection and compassion has become the need of the hour. Parents and teachers should work hand in hand to inculcate in them the values of tolerance and mutual respect as it is an important criteria to lead peaceful and successful life in todays world. We try to give our student the best possible opportunities to groom them up into responsible global citizens and successful professionals. To attain this goal, both parents and teachers should make a joint effort. Ultimately our collaboration only helps them to achieve the benefits of education. With warm regards,

Principal Mrs. Pooja Arora

Discipline is the key to success. It holds great value to the students. There are many temptations that can lure a student away from his

basic objectives in life. The glittering world of cell phones, the internets and the websites unfold a new era to students and they are wooed by glamour.

Self-discipline is something which students should aim for leading a systematic life. It cannot be bought as a commodity but it is a rare quality, that can be inculcated, nurtured and nourished from childhood. Parents and teachers can play a vital role in inculcating self discipline in students, Self discipline initiates concentration which will help students to scale new heights of academic excellence and success in life.

To sensitize the students on the value of discipline the school through various curricular and co-curricular activities tries to teach them.

Todays generation needs our time more than the luxuries provided to them. Students should be disciplined by treating them with respect and courtesy. They should also be made a part of planning class work and home work. Youth should be given a great opportunity to create a new disciplined world. Through the combined efforts of parents and teachers we should make them realise that Life is enthusiasm, Life is love, Life is compassion and Life is creation. It is our duty to imbibe, incul-cate and through testimony show the benefits of discipline. So let us gear up and work in achieving this value, to make the family, school, society , nation and the world to possess disciplined citizens. Then the world would be free of corruption, crime and suicides which at present is common among students. Discipline would boost their self confidence, face the ups and downs of life boldly and emerge as suc-cessful persons.

Value of Discipline in a Student Life

Discipline is the refining fire by which talent becomes ability

The first day of the Tiny Tots

Playgroup playing, speaking, singing, talking, crying and learning to live together. We are proud and ecstatic to provide endearing space for the First step of Tiny Tots out-side their homes in our school. Our effort to make the first impression of the school to be positive for the child to feel like coming to school seemed fruitful when on the first day teachers greeted the tiny tots with a broad smile and chocolates. The atmosphere soon changed to a playroom. Each child picked up a toy of their choice and played with it. Teachers interacted with the students while they were playing to make them com-fortable and to be at ease. The students were thus given a warm welcome.

Yoga is a mental, physical and spiritual practice that needs to be performed every day. The students were sensitized about the importance of the event. Yoga embodies unity of mind and body. The entire school performed yoga between 8 am to 9 am. Students performed different Yoga postures like : Standing Postures Taadaasan, ardha -chakraasana, trikonaasana.

WHALES As the gentle giants swim through the sea, Not expecting a thing, A sharp metal object is heading their way, Suddenly they feel a sharp sting. They dont know what happened, But they feel tremendous pain, The huge innocent creatures, Are hauled up by a chain. Now they figured it out, They know whats going on, A whaling harpoon has hit them, A massive violent gun. As theyre pulled up to the whaling ship, Their condition deteriorates, They get weaker and weaker, Theyre in a terrible state. The last thing they see, Just before they die, Is the satisfied look? In the fishermens eye. I hope this proves, How cruel whaling is, Well how would you like it? If you were treated like this? VASUNDHARA.C.DIXIT (VI B)

Sometimes, when I stare into

The never ending blue of the sky Questions come to my mind

As to how We are all so different

As to why We all want to be each other

As to why Do people hate each other so much

And yet The love I feel

When I put my head on my mother's lap.

As to how We seem to risk our lives For the meekest of things

When we Are given so much to be happy for

Like the sound of rain Or the taste of love

In our mother's cooking . Why is that

We want to prove ourselves When we already have

The love of those who we need . And I momentarily close my eyes

Shutting down these questions in my mind

And on opening my eyes I cant help but smile

That everything is yet the same .

Vitamins and minerals are substances that are found in food we eat. Your body needs them to work properly, so you grow and develop just like you

should. When it comes to Vitamins, each one has a special role to play. For e.g.,

Vitamin A in carrots, helps you to see at night Vitamin B in Leafy green vegetables, helps to make protein energy Vitamin C in Orange helps your body heal if you get a cut. Vitamin D in milk and eggs helps your bones.

Our bodies can make Vitamin D when our skin is exposed to sunlight.

A strong will is what we need to succeed in life, if we are determined to work hard, no task will be too difficult. We will keep on working & struggling in order to succeed. No difficulty is too great for people who are determined to do things. For example, when our country was un-der foreign rule, it was a difficult task to fight for Independence. Yet men like GandhiJi & many others were determined to fight for free-dom. Their strong will & determination helped to win independence for our country without the use of any weapon. It was their moral strength that helped to succeed in winning Inde-pendence. There are many instances of people who have attained greatness inspite of being poor handicapped, Abraham Lincoln was very poor. Yet his determination helped him to educate himself & become the president of the U.S.A. S.Sruti (VIII A)

WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY True friends are those who are beside us In every kind of state, Sometimes they have a liking for each other, And stand beside her in any kind of weather. A true friend does not like to see the other sad, From the bottom of their heart they feel bad. A true friend should play her part, And never break the others heart. If you really have a true friend, On the path of friendship you will tread. This relation will go on for years, For your friend you should have no fears. If they live, they live together! If they die, they die together! Vandana

Vinita maam A friend, Philosopher and guide- all in one. A person who filled the lives of the students as well as teacher with light.

The farewell celebration be-gan with a prayer song by teachers, followed by speeches of students top-pers who shared their feel-ings, there were songs of teachers and a few games to lighten the atmosphere. Vi-nita maam also blessed the school with her eloquent words. Our Principal Pooja maam addressed the gath-ering on behalf of the man-agement, the function con-cluded with a vote of thanks.

Saturday-25th June, 2016 was a very disappointing and emotionally draining day for I believe, everyone in C. I.S, because it was on this day that our beloved, honorable and loving principal Vinita Maam, declared her resignation. She was and will always be a very respectable person, dynamic in nature, intelligent, polite yet assertive and motherly at heart. My grandmother once told me Teaching is a noble profession. I believe nobody can justify this proverb better than her as she is the epitome of nobility. With her hard work, perseverance and experience maam truly revamped C.I.S and ensured that our school reaches greatest heights. Having studied in quite a few international schools, I can say without a doubt that City International School is truly at par and actually excels other international schools. This, I say, with proven statistics; C.I.S. is the 4th best school in Pune today, all this is due to Vinita Maam, our teachers and the management. Vinita Maam will truly be missed for enumerable reasons, the biggest being-the connect she shared with we the students. She will always be Our Vinita Maam! Nevertheless, it is my privilege to announce to everyone that Vinita Maam will be succeeded by none other than Pooja Maam. Today, I am humbled for being able to write a few lines on two God-gifted people. Pooja Maam undoubtedly is a perfect combination of Scholar and Teacher, which is very rare, because it is said that no scholar can ever be a good teacher and vice versa. Maam proves this proverb wrong and that too hands down. And to have such a wonderful individual as our principal! God, are we lucky! Sharp, eloquent, warm are some words one can use to summarize Pooja Maams personality. I look forward to being under this amazing principal of ours, Pooja Maam and believe that she will help C.I.S reach new heights. Have a wonderful day and God Bless our school. (Shruti SatishIX A)

To conquer, one must first yield. Rather than going against the change, one should flow with it like water. It is one of the most powerful forces on the earth. In education too, we see fast changes. The student of today is aware of his responsibilities and is a humanitarian at heart. At City Interna-tional School we recognize and foster the blend of such sensibilities in a child and thus, this News Letter is to be viewed as a start for childrens creative urges to blossom. As the Zen tradition speaks of a beginners mind: those who keep their minds open to new concepts- those whose cups are empty- will always move to higher levels of achievement and fulfillment. This News Letter is a bid to render the young minds free wander and explore their realm of imagination through expression of words. Our school attains glory through the achievements of our students which has been given its due place in the News Letter. It also breathes the school spirit of blooming and blossoming. I believe all these will set us for higher growth. My sincere thanks are due to the Principal, co-editors, students and teachers to have been of great help in giving life to these pages.
