“Horseshoe Crabs Are Not Harmless ARYA DEV SINGH
Despite Their Terrifying Looks” IX - VINDHYAS

A very interesting fact about horseshoe NANDITA SHARMA
crabs is that they are a whopping 480 VI - BRAHMAPUTRA
million years! That’s not too long after
the pre-Cambrian ended!
Horseshoe crabs are found primarily in
and around shallow coastal waters on
soft, sandy or muddy bottoms, in the
intertidal zone at spring high tides.
They are eaten in some parts of Asia,
and used as fishing bait, in fertilizer and
in science.
They look like prehistoric crabs, but are
actually more closely related to
scorpions and spiders.
The horseshoe crab has a hard
exoskeleton and 10 legs, which it uses
for walking along the seafloor.
Horseshoe crabs like to dine at night on
worms and clams, and may also eat
algae. A horseshoe crab picks up food
with appendages located in front of its
mouth. Because it has no mandible or
teeth, the horseshoe crab crushes food
between its legs before passing it to the
mouth.
These crabs look quite terrifying but
they are not a threat at all. They are
actually living fossils! Their blue blood
is an essential component in the making
of thousands of medicines and vaccines.
They have saved millions of lives!

The Dog on the Sidewalk

Whenever, I get out of school, I see a dog. Sunshine or rain, it’s
there on the sidewalk every single day. With its shiny blue eyes,
it stares at me until I walk a whole mile away. It has dark black
fur, moving here and there in the gentle breeze. It’s long but
thin tail wags at the sight of me. Then after a while, it suddenly
stops and goes away. This dog is with me everyday, and I don’t
know why but I wish he never goes away.

Respected Principal Ma'am,
I would like to extend my heartiest congratulations to you and the LOTUS MUN OC
for organizing an amazing event last week. From the opening ceremony and your
words of encouragement to all participating students, the efforts put in to get the
dance & music teams together, quality of food served, the folders and give-aways
presented to all students, to the closing ceremony and awards function, everything
was so thorough and planned to perfection. I can vouch for this as a first hand
experience by my daughter who was a participant in the choir as well as a Delegate
of the UNGA committee. Infact, she received this feedback from many other fellow
delegates from other schools as well.

Also, it is worth mentioning that for the past few months Shivangi has been going for
inter-school competitions to many schools including KR Mangalam, Kunskapsskolan,
Lancers, DPS Palam Vihar and Scottish High, and we are clearly able to see the
difference in quality (both in terms of event planning, school infrastructure, teacher
interaction and student behaviour). Our school has a clear edge on all of these
criterias under your able guidance and we are so proud to be a part of this family.
Do let me personally on how we can continue to add value to the success of our
school in every way possible as proud parents and as advocates.
A sincere thanks and a big congratulations to the entire team and staff for this.
Kind regards
Yours sincerely
Shweta Talwar

Hello Mam,
This is with regards to our discussion around improvements observed in our ward -
"Aarna Vashishtha" after undergoing the counselling sessions in school.
To be honest, at first I was not very hopeful to see much results but much to my
surprise, these sessions have helped her to open up with you and Astha mam about
her struggles with studies, her emotional personna and other related issues.
Then, there came a moment that instilled confidence in me about these counselling
sessions, was when Aarna came to me and said that " Mumma, my counselor Mam
is just like you. I can share everything with Mam without any hesitation just like
you." This was when I felt that my daughter was in the right hands and I started
looking forward to seeing some improvement very soon. All thanks to Mansi Mam
for sharing that report with my child.
Coming back to the present, I can see her motivated enough to do her school work
on time during class as well as home. She has improved on the emotional front as
well, however I understand it's a slow process and would take time and constant
direction to keep the spirit alive. But, I know once a child feels motivated to do
something or in a certain way, half battle is won, and another half can be won by
perseverance.
I would like to take this moment to thank both the counsellors to counsel my child
so well that she didn't for a moment thought she's been counselled, instead she got
someone in school who would listen to her day to day issues and understand her
dilemma or struggles as a child and provide some quick solutions and exercises to
deal with them.
Looking forward to continued support and guidance.

Thanks and Regards,
Preeti Vashishtha
(Aarna's Mother)

Ma’am,
My daughter, who studied for 4 years in your school, has now passed her 12th
exams with more than satisfactory results.
I am writing this to convey what I felt like conveying at different points of time
during this journey but had to refrain from doing so thinking that an honest
acknowledgment of great work could also be possibly seen as an attempt to seek
favour for my child.
During her entire schooling, my daughter had to study in 5 different schools owing
to my transferable job and thus I had the benefit of comparing one school to
another. I also have experience of working in the corporate world for more than 2
decades and thus I am able to evaluate the administrative, operational and other
processes.
Let me just state that every single time I got a chance to experience any aspect of
the school, be it the management during Covid, logistics during PTMs, attitude of
the staff at the reception and even the sincerity of the security guards and school
bus crew, my respect for the institution and for you as a leader went up
consistently. The quality of teachers not just in terms of their skill set but also in
terms of their dedication, hard work and the whole approach of putting their heart
and soul into the development and education of their students was inspiring.
As a parent, I am highly appreciative of the contribution of every single member of
the school staff and I feel extremely grateful for all that my daughter fortunately got
from the school.
I strongly feel that we need many more institutions and leaders like you. Thank you
once again.
I am choosing to not write the name of my daughter, lest this should be viewed as a
biased communication.
Thank you very much once again. God bless you all!
Warm Regards,
Prabhat
