Summer Assignment

Class 8
Dear Parents,

The long awaited summer vacation is here, bringing with it the gift of togetherness that is spent
in exploring books, story telling and playing games. These days are precious and invaluable
standing out as the most memorable days of childhood. We should always remind ourselves
that children will not remember us for the gifts we shower upon them but will always cherish
the time you spent with your little ones. It's time to nurture young minds, inculcate moral
values and narrate family anecdotes to keep them in touch with their roots.
