MVN TIMES Children’s Day 2022 Special Edition
From principal’s desk “If there is one field of life which teaches us the most valuable lessons about perseverance, patience, discipline and character building, it is Sports.” Ms. Agalya Venkatesh If there is one word that best epitomizes children and childhood, it is Sports! for One word sums it all. No doubt, Books – our eternal friends; repositories of all learning, knowledge and wisdom; our guides and guardians – shape us but sports play their own master- stroke. Sports augment physical health, accentuate fitness, enhance stamina, strength and endurance. Sports cultivate leadership, team spirit, skill of collaboration integrating it with resilience, respect, empathy and sportsmanship. The will to succeed, the passion for persistence, the spirit to do are but the virtues of sports. At MVN, Sector 17, we believe in the alchemy that transforms not only mind & soul but also our bodies, a synergy that will sculpt young minds, hearts and spirits, who will be the pride of families, exultation of society and glory of our nation. And, what better time than to catch them young. The Sports integrated curriculum at MVN – 17 assimilates round the year fitness classes and sports activities; the glimpses of which was showcased on this Children’s Day i.e., 14TH of November, 2022.
