FARE-THEE-WELL
‘May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be even at your back. May the sunshine warm
upon your face and the rainfall softly upon your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold
you in the hollow of his hand.’
Bidding farewell to people close to our hearts is one of the most daunting tasks to accomplish.
When the nostalgia of the past days takes over, it’s difficult to get hold of one’s emotions. This
year we bade a warm adieu to two of the strongest pillars of the school, who rendered their
services and unflinching support through all highs and lows of the institution for over forty
th
years. Ms. Padma Manchanda and Ms. Sujata Sen had their virtual farewell organised on 30
September 2020. The farewell function was presided over by the chairman, Sardar Surjeet
Singh, and chairperson, Ms. Rasna Singh along with the Principal, the Headmistress and the
staff members. After the customary shabad, a heartfelt PowerPoint presentation charted their
journey over the years leaving everyone teary-eyed. Our revered chairman sir appreciated the
teachers for their commitment towards the school and everything they had for the institution.
Ms. Sneh Malik and Ms. Poonam Narang shared their sincere feelings for their colleagues. Ms.
Rashmi Mehta, in the end delivered a poignant speech about Ms. Padma and Ms. Sujata’s
contribution towards the growth of the school.
