THANK YOU NOTE- GRADE NURSERY ANNUAL
PRESENTATION: RANGMANCH

To,
Principal

Respected mam
I am mother of Virat tyagi who is studying in nursery class in your school.
On Wednesday me and my husband watched the kids performing in rangmanch and could
not help sending this email.we had this thought in mind when our son used to say that he
was practicing dance in school that it would be a normal song and dance performance like
any other play group. But we were mesmerized after watching rangmanch.The show was so
thoughtfully prepared with participation of every child.I think this is the magic of lotus valley
that the teachers feel that every child has potential.
There were Aladdin,jasmine and genie from every section.From starting with the choir till
the end of the show every thing was like a fairytale.
There was so much hard work from the teachers, preparing different props for more than
120 students.
And even getting the students dressed up so early in the morning, pinning up the stoles of
the boys,making designs on the gilrs forehead,even parents of girls in my what's app group
were asking each other how to drape the bengali saree,then one of them replied, mam said
just drape it anyhow we will do the rest in school.This was such a nice gesture.
Every detail was taken care of even the food packets had samosa without mirchi for kids.
I dont even have the confidence of standing on that huge stage and the kids performed there
brilliantly.
I will also mention that,I am working mother and so have very little time for my son.I was
very worried when my son cried most of the days in prenursery,my when I saw in the
classroom pics suruchi Ahuja mam carrying my son on her lap and wiping his tears as if he is
her own child,i stopped worrying.
And now I see my son who was so shy and had no confidence, performing on that stage.we
see so much of confidence and happiness in him after he joined your school.The effort that
the class teachers put on the students is visible .
Also the teachers standing and receiving the students at the entry gate in the morning is
really a difficult job.Hats off to them.Be it any season but the teachers are always there,I
have visited a few schools but haven't seen it anywhere.
Mam I just wanted to write a few lines as appreciation but couldn't help mentioning so
many things.
Now I will conclude by thanking all the teachers for their love and care.We would love to see
our child growing up in this valley as the school grows.
Regards
Mousumi tyagi

RE: THANK YOU NOTE FROM A PARENT

To,
Principal

Dear Ma’am
I am writing in appreciation of the recently concluded MT2 for grade 6. The research
based evaluation is a welcome addition to the repertoire of teaching pedagogies at
the school. The evaluation plans, inter-linking various subjects, were brilliantly
thought out and very well executed. It was a great way to initiate children into
critical review and analysis of literature, and appraisal of case reports. The
experience with paper writing and story writing will go a long way in enhancing
their self-expression skills.
I would sincerely request and hope that these activities are made a routine part of
the curriculum.
Warm regards

THANK YOU NOTE- FROM PARENT OF GRADE V NEEMS

To,
Principal

Respected Mam,

We have been recently privy to some disturbing news from the school regarding 2 incidents involving
a student as well as two temporary teachers.

There seems to some angst in parents also in certain groups and I am sure some of them have reached out
to you a as well. Today I also got to hear from someone in the parent rep group about the meetings held in
school and the concerns raised.

I wanted to write back to you with support to assure you that we believe in the way things are handled in
school and the trust we place in you and the school allows me to send my 10 year daughter to Lotus valley
everyday. I also want to thank you personally for taking up the matter so professionally in your own able
hands and making sure that the right steps were taken everywhere not just with the concerned people but
also with other parents like us to clarify information.

Once again I feel fortunate to have my daughter study under your able guidance and assure you of our
support and ability to uphold the reputation of the school wherever possible.

Thanking you
Sincerely
Shweta Talwar
Parent of Shivangi

THANK YOU NOTE- FROM PARENT OF GRADE II BULBULS

To,
Headmistress(A Block)

Dear ma’am.

Greetings…!
This is regarding the feedback on Grade 2 Bulbul teachers.
The effort, sincerity and hard work which they are putting on the kids is amazing and
for sure showing positive results.
My son Yuvaan Rana , Grade II Bulbuls, needed improvement and focused efforts,
when we started with this session. It was pointed out in PTM’s and we were also
working on it.
In last 6-7 ,months he has shown tremendous improvement both in case of
temperament and work. It is for sure because of combined efforts of school and us,
but for sure would like to acknowledge the efforts of teachers, specially to mention
Ms ILA Sharma. Her dedication and hardwork has been really praiseworthy.
Also to mention the classteacher Ms. Sonica , she has also been a real guiding light.
Thanks you for the efforts.
Best wishes.

THANK YOU NOTE FROM PARENT OF GRADE VI THAMES

To,
Principal
Dear Ma’am
I write to share a small conversation I had with my younger daughter Ashmi, who is
in grade 6 Thames.
While talking about Emperor Ashoka, she brought up a very interesting perspective.
She explained how it wasn’t as if the emperor gave up war altogether and became a
totally, solely religious being; it was just that he gave up fighting to conquer, but
continued to fight in defence, and started to pay attention to the well-being of his
people. His greatness lies in the fact that, unlike most other kings, he did consider
taking care of his subjects his important duty.
Although a seemingly small thing, but it gave me something that I had not thought of
before.
I wish to whole-heartedly compliment the teacher, Ms Shriya Nayyar, for
encouraging the children to think, on their own and beyond the books. These little
insights and perspectives that we help them develop, will go a long way in
inculcating a life-long love for learning in them.
Heartfelt gratitude to you for giving my children such a wholesome environment to
grow up in.

Warm regards
Jasmeet

THANK YOU NOTE- FROM PARENT OF GRADE LILIES

To,
Principal

Respected Mam,
Greetings of the day!

We are proud parents of Ridhaan Suri, a student of Nursery- Lilies in your school. Our journey with
Lotus Valley started almost a year ago when our little champ stepped into your school. With each
passing day we have seen him grow not just in age and size but also intellectually. He has become
a lot more confident and responsible. We liked the way both his class teachers are working
towards building his foundation involving both academic and extra curricular activities.

Ridhaan is well settled and loves to spend more and more time with his teachers who are not only
his mentors, guide but are also giving him motherly affection.

We really acknowledge and appreciate the efforts put in by both the teachers, Tripti Mam and Isha
Mam towards holistically development of our ward. We are also thankful for the timely feedback
and suggestions given to us for Ridhaan’s improvement.

Thank you once again.

Regards
Ankur Suri & Shruti Khanna Suri

Hello Ma'am

I am Saanvi Suri's (Prep Jasmines) mother and would like to express my gratitude towards the
teachers and school for the wonderful exposure our kids got during the annual day this year.
Why is it coming now? I will happily explain....the kids unbelievably still have a big hangover of
the Pirates theme and Saanvi wouldn't stop walking like one. The kids also pose like pirates at
birthday parties with their classmates. Yesterday, I went for the reading program and the kids
greeted the parents saying "Good Morning, All Hands Ahoy"! I was also taught the song lyrics at
home during holidays! I saw immense learning that happened in preparing the kids for the act.
Not only the act was well-practiced and well-coordinated, the kids seem to know "ALL" the
dialogs/narration, weather one really delivered them on the stage or not, is immaterial. I heard
the whole narration at home post the annual day (since it was a big surprise for us, nothing was
shared with us back home before the annual day). It is, in my view, a big deal for the kids of Age
5 to be able to remember the dialogues, narrate them with correct voice modulation, face
expressions and thoroughly enjoy what they were doing. Not even once, I heard that there was
any feeling of being left out or not being a part of the team. The way the teachers charged the
kids with enthusiasm, team spirit, and sincerity towards their goal, was incredible. Just one day
before the annual day, Saanvi was guiding me on what time we need to sleep, how we need to
prepare in the morning, and kept showing me her face expressions, checking if she made an
angry face or not. It was a truly overwhelming experience for us as parents to watch the show
and many of us had tears in our eyes. Thanks to all of you and the loving class teachers.
