2021 August & September Newsletter

From the Principal's Desk

Dear OMK Family,

August and September have brought in the colours of patriotism and the soft dew
drops on the crimson petals of a rose. It shows how fast the time ies, and riding on its
wings we y.

The past month was a pretty busy one incorporating galores of activities – the most
signicant of them was the resumption of school in ofine mode – a change everyone
had been awaiting with a throbbing heart, and a pulsating desire there was to meet the
students in person.

Our life is a continuous journey but, Corona was a dream unseemly and appalling. We
learn and experience something new every day. We not only impart in-depth
knowledge of a particular subject but at the same time also ensure competent and
constant growth of the students. Problems exist in everyone's life but we frequently
remind the students not to be afraid of failure but strive hard to achieve success for
excellence and good leadership.

The school is striving hard to make the best possible efforts to inculcate strong values
combining with academics and extra-curricular activities in the children. Converting
every individual into a self-reliant and independent citizen, the school provides an
amalgam of scholastic and co-scholastic activities.

I appreciate every student who shared the joy of participation in co-curricular and
extracurricular activities along with their commitment to curriculum after the school
reopened to ofine mode.

We believe that 'individuals' are the atoms that hold tremendous power within to
serve as agents of change and thus are condent that our students, enriched with a
sense of high morality and social responsibility will be makers of a virtuous society. In
a world of stiff competition, strife and unrealistic aspirations, it calls for sensitivity on
our part as educators to help children understand that predicament is common to
everyone. Problems and challenges need to be faced courageously with conviction in
our principles.

Hoping to keep the congruence continuing, I wish all the members a safe and fullling
period ahead in our journey with open minds to the world of attainment and bliss.

Yours truly
Reshma Singh

Sydney J. Harris says, “The whole purpose of education is to turm mirrors into windows.”
And this purpose has been immaculately achieved by a wonder software we call
'Eduletics' – a genie getting every school related work done in a jiffy. It often reminds us of
Prospero's faithful assistant Ariel from 'Tempest' by William Shakespeare who serves his
master with his magical powers in a tremendously efcient way.

This 15 August, some more features were incorporated in Eduletics making it more
student friendly, 'giving the quietest student a voice' as Jerry Blumengarten calls it, in the
form of 'Just Query'. Encompassing all our needs, it seems to be making the virtual a new
real, more interactive, more accomodating, more futuristic.

EDULETICS

AND

INNOVATION

A happy soul is the best shield for a cruel world.

Something which happens after a long wait becomes a prayer – whispered on every lip,
radiated from every eye and resounding in every heart. And what a bliss it creates if granted!
The reopening of the school in ofine mode had the same magical touch.

Awaited by all – whether it was the teacher or the student – it was like meeting a bosom friend
separated for long. The occasion was so overwhelming, we can simply describe its signicance
in the words of Plutarch, “He came, he saw, he conquered.'

REOPENS THE SCHOOL

CELEBRATING

75TH INDEPENDENCE DAY

India observed its 75th Independence this year and Open Minds emblazoned this
occasion with great jollity. The Principal, Mrs. Reshma Singh unfurled the national
ag. Maintaining the Covid protocols the school only had the teachers assemblage
to pay a tribute to the nonpareils of our country. Teachers narrated poems and sang
songs of the baronial past of Indian heritage.

In the truest sense freedom cannot be bestowed it must be achieved.

In pursuance of maintaining the Covid norms, the celebration of the 75 th Independence Day
by the students of OMK was done in through the digital platform. A myriad of activities were
held across all grades. Students tailored all the activities with joy and fervour . From poem
recitation to dance, painting, speech and many more the young blood has enticingly
channelised their creativity.

REJOICING

INDIA'S INDEPENDENCE

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

With prolonged digital education, students had almost lost the connectivity of practical
experiments and experience. The school did recognize this gap and has taken measures to
rebuilt and bridge this gap. The Physics, Biology and Chemistry labs were opened again for the
students to enhance their power of imagination.

The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.

The school is highfalutin about its teaching members who have given their innovative ideas to
enhance the development of every individual. The school has chosen corps d'elite faculty for
