Overview: Welcome back to another great month at LPS with exciting and fun-filled learning activities.
The only source of knowledge is experience – Albert Einstein
We really feel happy and satisfied to witness the all-round development of our students and to see them gaining so much by involving themselves
in experiential learning. The students are becoming confident, active and self-dependent.
The videos that we have received as part of the holiday homework of the students speaks volumes for our school community that so many
students, staff and parents are willing to get involved. It is the team work that really pays.
Lined up ahead are umpteen number of activities such as Gandhi Jayanti, World Mental Health day, Colouring competition, World Food day &
TECEX. Parents are requested to provide ample support to their wards and encourage them to actively participate in the upcoming annual
science exhibition TECEX, topic for which is “Be Smart, Live Smarter.”
Looking forward to your support as always, kindly share your joy with us by sending pictures of your ward doing the home activities assigned in
this portal.
We wish all the very best to our students for the upcoming Colouring competition and TECEX.
