God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea.
Psalm 46. Vs 1- 2

Dear All,
‘Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood more, so that we may fear less’ because ‘a life lived in fear is a life half lived.’

These are two quotes that have spoken to me in these very challenging times, and therefore I know that it will fill more hearts with courage wrapped in gratitude. As many families are struggling during these troubled and difficult times, we remember each one of them in our prayers and pray for healing on this nation. We have, unprecedentedly, gotten time to spend with our families and must therefore use this time wisely and effectively - spend fruitful time with our children, work on ourselves, improve ourselves, call and speak to the people we haven’t spoken to in a long time, check up on 5 people on our caller list daily – reach out and just be.

Inevitably, the world as we know it has changed, and change is probably now the only constant and the ‘new normal’. Over the last two years, the school management has tried to keep itself energized, by motivating one another and fruitfully using this time to innovate with new technology, teaching and helping foster an environment of learning in each home, as is possible given all circumstances. And it is this very technology that, I believe, has been used to exhibit the creativity of the young minds that have been nurtured here at Somerville School (NOIDA).

Until we connect again, stay safe, stay well.
