To,

The Principal,

The Millennium School

Lucknow

Dear Madam,

We must take this opportunity to express our deep gratitude and appreciation for the team at Millennium for giving our precious child a wonderful opportunity to learn and flower into a better individual. Many thanks for her teachers for putting in the kind of effort they have with Pankhudi. We would also like to thank the entire team of support staff, and most definitely Dr Manjula Goswami for running an extremely efficient and professional institution where every detail is taken care of. When we decided in favour of The Millenium School for our child we were both excited and anxious for our decision. We must say that our trust in your institution has been completely justified and we will really miss TMS.

In the event that we happen to return to Lucknow at any time in near future, the choice for us regarding schooling for both our kids would be really simple- TMS!

We would also like to express our sincere thanks for Dr Manjula Goswami showing the kind of leadership which is required to run a professional set up like TMS. Also, inspite of all your engagements you were always more than eager to hear out demanding parents like us. Thanks for being so accessible and considerate at all times.

We would also like to especially thank Ms Pooja, Pankhudi’s class teacher for the way she has put in her effort with our child. She was always encouraging and motivating, working very closely with Pankhudi and ensuring that she develops into a balanced personality. We could see the difference in her personality as she overcame her hesitation and started becoming a confident child. Ms Pooja was always available, even at odd hours of the day to discuss Pankhudi’s progress with her mother. A teacher like her sets an example for the child to follow, and we will surely miss Ms Pooja.

Thanks and regards,

Vikas Mohan and Parul Srivastava

Parents of Pankhudi Mohan

HELPING AT HOME WITH COLOURS

   You and your child will have endless hours of fun as you explore the colours all around you !

Here are some ideas to get you started

1.         Practice sorting item by colours        -           Sort your child’s toys or favourate food into colours. Or when you are getting ready to do the laundry, let your child help you sort the clothes by colours.

2.         Go on a nature colour walk               -           Go for a walk in the spring, summer, autum and winter. Take photographs while you are on your walk. Compare the photos from season to season and talk about the colour changes that you’ve observed.

3.         Fading colours                        -           Place a book on a sheet of coloured construction paper and put it in the sun. after a while, go back and take the book off the paper. Look at the paper? What has happened?

4.         Study a rainbow          -           Rainbows are always fascinating for children. Get a prism and put it in a sunny window. Watch as your child delights in their very own rainbow.

5.         Get messy                  -           Explore colours with paints and mining of colours

Below are few suggestions that will help make learning time for your child much success on the road to learning.

Subject: Goodbye

Dear Ma’am,

With mixed emotions I would like to inform you that this is the last session of my daughter Anoushka Mukherjee, student of KG-A.

As I look back, I can see that it was a tough decision for us as parents to put our daughter in a school whose infrastructure was coming up. But one year with you changed our mindset as to how a school should be. The rich memories perhaps will never fade and I wish wherever I go I can put my daughter in such a school.

My sincere thanks to you and your staff, particularly her class teacher Pooja. Though young, she has done her work enthusiastically and was my daughter’s favorite teacher who has left an everlasting impression on her. One more thing that we liked as parents was that whenever required you and your staff was always available.

Wishing you all the best and hope we get to renew our association with "The Millennium School" in the future.

Thanking You,

Yours Faithfully

Manjushah Mukhopadhyay

Dear Madame,

“Education is not the amount of information that is put into your brain and runs riot there, undigested all your life. We must have life-building, man-making, character-making assimilation of ideas.”

-        Swami Vivekananda

We quote Swami Vivekananda as a prelude to an introduction to the Millennium School, Lucknow, where our daughter Ms. Manya Dwivedi, studied for about six months in this academic year (2009-10).

J. Krishnamurti said: “The function of education is to create human beings who are integrated and therefore intelligent. Intelligence is the capacity to perceive the essential, ‘the what is’; and to awaken this capacity, in oneself and in others, is education.”

We must say that our daughter Manya has really gained from the Millennium school even during her not very long association. The enthusiasm with which she has been preparing to go to the school in the morning and the zeal with which she used to mention about the school, the lessons, her teachers, and fellow students to us, her grand parents, our relatives and her friends bear testimony to how she learned.

As we have to assume our new responsibilities and assignments at Delhi, we have to move to Delhi and also our daughter Manya has to leave her beloved school; however we would recommend all parents to send their children to this school, which is a role-model in itself.

We could have thought of transferring our child to Millennium School Noida but as our residence is too far (at Rohini) and our child is too small it would be impracticable to do so. Therefore, we request you to kindly issue a T.C. for our daughter.

With best wishes to your school as well as the teachers and staff for en ever-growing excellence’

Sincerely yours,

(Dr. Mrs. Dipty Dwivedi)                               (Dr. Mayank Dwivedi)

Dear Mr. Prakash
I had no idea about Educomp or yourself till the time I put my child at Millennium Lko.
Believe me,initially we all had reservations about the school since it is too far and at a bombed out place.I got your mail id from Mr Sharma who is in touch with you.
 
Today,I am so glad that we have placed our trust in Dr Manjula Goswami and her team since my child is a changed personality.The earlier convent made us believe that our son was a slow learner but here with good guidance he has a new look in his approach.Even on holidays he now wants to go to school.
 
I can't thank you enough for giving me back my son.
Seasons Greetings and best wishes,
Mr Aman Sharma
