PARENT
10K Run

Dear friends,

We as parents of the modern society will agree on few things as our challenges are similar.

Challenges of the child of the modern world, such as academic pressure, peer pressure, media influence etc., leaves them very little space for independent thinking and most homes and schools focus on grooming them to fit into a society without questioning the decadence of materialistic and moral values.

Amidst such degeneration of priorities of the educational institutions where the prime and sole locus is on academic excellence only , there are few distinctive schools such as 'The School', whose pursuit is to develop the child in totality. Allowing them to flower in goodness which is free of fear, comparison and competition. Attempting to teach the children to relate rightly to people , things and ideas and most importantly helping them to question and arrive at it themselves.

I have had the privilege of being associated with this esteemed institution for the longest, as a teacher / well wisher and currently as a parent.

As the school is presently facing the challenge of relocation to a new campus which involves a huge monetary outlay, I deem it my honour to take part in the Wipro Chennai Marathon ( 10K ) and help mobilise funds for the school.

I therefore reach out to you dear friends to support my endeavour , by contributing generously to the schools corpus for relocating the campus.

Thank you for your support.
