SHRISHTI VIDYASHRAM SR. SEC. SCHOOL

ANNUAL REPORT – HIGH SCHOOL (2014-15) 17th April 2015

“A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.” says Colin Powell, former Secretary of United States. “New eyes each year, find old books here, And new books too, old eyes renew, So youth and old, Like ink and page, In this house join, Minting new coin.”

Our commitment has been to ensure the overall holistic development of our students in addition to our efforts to impart the best education.

I am thankful to the management for all the support extended to us. The school helps in transformation of the social, cultural and educational pattern of the people in this area. Success is the combined effort of the teachers whose supreme art is to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge. I express our sincere thanks and heartfelt gratitude to all teachers, students, parents, well wishers of the school, without whose help we would have not been in a position to maintain high standard of education and discipline in our school. I take this opportunity to commit ourselves to do our best to serve this locality through quality education. It is undeniably true that success does not happen by chance, nor does it occur overnight. The winners of the various special awards proved that they were a cut above the rest in the focussed pursuit of their goals.

We seek the blessing from the God Almighty to help and guide us in the future in the right direction.

Dear children!

My personal advice to all the students is

Yield not to temptation, for yielding is sin.

Each victory will help you, some others to win

Ask your God to help you ,comfort, strengthen and keep you

He is willing to aid you, He will carry you through.

Shun evil companions, bad language disdain,

19

Be thoughtful and earnest, kind hearted and true

To him that over cometh God giveth a crown

Through faith we can conquer thou often cast down

He who is our savior , our strength will renew and

He will carry you through.
