e-MAGAZINE Primary School August - November (YEAR 2022-23)

Dear Ma’am ,
Hope you are doing well !
I would like to take the opportunity to express my thoughts on the grandparents day
celebration that was organized on 6th Oct.

The grand parents day at Lotus valley was celebrated with abundance of respect and
admiration. The children were really excited to see their grandparents participate in
games and activities. Their fondness and affection for their grandparents was clearly
seen when they held hands, sang and danced together. The teachers have gone an extra
mile and left no stone unturned to make this day a memorable event for all.
It truly will be a long cherished memory for everyone!
We truly appreciate the efforts put together for the event . We look forward to such
beautiful collaboration as we move in the journey of our child’s development .
Thankyou class teachers for your wisdom and all the sweet things you do for our
children.
Thankyou to lotus valley management and entire team who works with passion and
dedication for the future of our children.
Have a good day !
Regards,
Happy Parents

Good Day Teachers of Lotus Valley, Gurgaon

Atharva Mittal a young learner from 2018 (Nur) to 2022 (Grade 2nd) misses his
teachers and school a lot.
Just wanted to thank you all for all the efforts and pain in making Atharva Mittal base
strong. All the teachers stood strong by the learners even during COVID times. They
not only took pain to upgrade themselves but also left no stone unturned in imparting
the best knowledge.
I am proud to share Atharva Mittal stands out in the crowd in Mumbai with the
knowledge the school have given him.
Thanking you from the bottom of our hearts.

We feel blessed to have Lotus Valley in his life.
Special thanks to Shilpa mam, Meenal mam and Ridhima mam

Hello Ma’am,

I would like to share my joy with you. My daughter, Tanvi Chand, was accepted to
Purdue University, University of California, San Diego, University of California, Davis,
University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign, and Indiana University. Tanvi has finally
committed to Purdue as she wanted to pursue UI/UX, which is available as an
undergraduate course only in very few schools.

Thank you for all your help and support over the past 11 years. Lotus Valley has been
an integral part of the journey to being successful for both my daughters (Shivangi,
Class of 2016, and Tanvi, Class of 2022). This wouldn’t have been possible without
your constant encouragement.

Thanks and Regards,
Shalini Chand

Respected Ma'am Principal,

In today's times when we often say that all schools are more or less the same, the
one human factor that differentiates LVIS Gurgaon, is undoubtedly Ms. Ritu Jawa !! I
have countless reasons to support my thoughts but the one today is very close to my
heart...and hence this mail to you.
We had escalated a concern to her and are filled with gratitude on how quickly and
beautifully she handled the situation.
We have often heard you say that she has been 'handpicked' by you and how
selflessly she puts in more than her 100% for the growth of our school. But I have to
tell you this, that knowing her in person is such a humbling experience. It feels as if
she comes from an era where the Good souls carry a Halo around their head and
spread endless warmth, positivity and assurance. I have said this before and would
say it again that the "Ritu Jawa' signature on our circulars is always more than a
name.....its a satisfaction,a reassurance, a warm smile, a personal touch and so much
more !! Wish God manufactures a few more souls like her :)

A Big ThankYou to You for leading by example. We are happy to be a part of this
family and with pride I say, 'our child is in the safest hands.'

Thanks & Warmest Regards
Himanshi Chawla

Dear Ma'am,
I am writing this email in the capacity of a parent for my kids studying in Grades 4th
and 9th respectively. Both my kids are sports enthusiasts and I would like to express
my gratitude towards Rahul sir and his team for coaching both of them and providing
the right guidance for Football and Basketball respectively. I particularly like the sight
of kids playing in the greens and every coach is so involved. My elder daughter comes
for morning classes and I am pleased to see the growth and developing interest in her
favorite sport.
Three cheers for the sports department.

Warm Regards

Dear Mrs. Malhotra,
It was a delight to meet you and witness your love for Indian Handicraft and
Handloom. All the artisans were elated with your kind hospitality and the
response received from teachers and kids. Kids were seen taking keen interest in
the process of creating different crafts and it clearly shows your great leadership
skills to inculcate love for Indian heritage among small kids at such an early stage.
It would be an honor to recreate a similar experience for kids and parents and will
try
to take it a notch higher. As a special mention by Ms.Anand, I will try to include a
puppeteer who would showcase small puppet shows. Along with this, I’m also
planning to arrange Kachhi Ghodi wherein a person wears a horse dress and
performs a traditional dance. Also, where kids see ancient Indian monuments the
old way. As mentioned by Ms. Annand that this time parents are also invited for
the date, I would like to suggest that we should not only keep Craft but also to keep
a few Handloom Categories like Woolen Shawls/stoles, Chanderi Handloom etc.
and also increase the number of artisans to around 10 in number.
I am also glad to inform you that our talks with the Indian army for the army day
rehearsals school visit will soon be positively concluded and dates for the same
will be out soon.
Kindly pour in your insight for the above. Look forward to working alongside you
and the lotus valley team on a much bigger scale in the future.
Thank you
Regards

ma'am you created a new definition of being a leader. I felt so pampered. Heartfelt
gratitude to your efforts of standing there making sure we ate first before you took
your plate. Gratitude for your humility and graciousness.
You put us first everywhere and made us feel so special. Thank you is not enough
ma’am.

A heartfelt gratitude and many thanks.

Dear Anita Mam,

Thankyou for wonderful opportunity to kids and parents to participate, contribute for
a wonderful cause. This was a great platform where kids got to learn so much to lead
and also a sense of contributing to society.

We enjoyed a lot and feel so good after making our contribution too.

Thanks and Regards

Respected ma’am

My daughters , Suhani and Hiti are part of your institution . They study in grade XI
and VIII respectively. Elder one participated in dance today and younger one had
put up a stall with her friends.
I am writing this mail to appreciate and thank the management , school and
teachers for organizing Seva Mela . It’s not only for a good cause but in the process
kids are learning so much while having fun alongside. Merging it with Children’s
Day today was a really good idea. They all had fun and enjoyed it even more. My
daughters were really happy and couldn’t stop talking about the good time they
had at school.

Thanks a lot

Greetings from Ananya's Parents studying in Nursery Dahlias
