My School, My Sunshine

– The Cathedral and John Connon School

My school helps me reach for the skies

It empowers me to always aim high

It encourages to help people in need

It teaches me to not sit back but to lead

My school is like sunshine, it makes me grow

With a happy mind that makes ideas flow

My school is my second family

It improves my personality

My schoolmates make me laugh and smile

All worries we forget for a while

My teachers are friendly and kind

They always help, but ensure that we use our mind

Songs to plays, school is fun everyday

Class debates and discussions

Wow! what exciting and animated sessions

I am proud to be a Cathedralite

Cathedral teaches us wrong from right

It teaches us how to build, care, and never lose sight

We raise our heads high and cheer

As our school has completed its 160^th year

Time

As the day grow colder

And as we get older

It’s only memories we have left now

The rustling of the autumn leaves

The buzzing of the busy bees

The caring of the old and frail

And as we get there we tell the tale

There’s so much to miss in the years gone by

But for now I would advise to just let out a smile :-]

I Am Awake

You Stand Strong

Showing Right from Wrong

Not worried about what the World has to Say

Working hard All Night, All Day

Not bothered by Religion, Gender or Race

You’ve made the World a Better Place

TO: All the people who stood up to the world.

The Big Large Tree – Story By Sanjana Bhasin

The Big Large Tree

Sanjana Bhasin

Once upon a time, there was a boy whose name was Nick. He loved trees. He would always see lovely, shaded, tall trees in the park. One day he decided to plant his own tree. He put a seed, which his Grandpa had once given him, gently in the mud. His Grandpa said it was very special.
It was true.
Every day Nick watered and cared for it. The seed grew and grew and it kept on growing. Suddenly it became so big that his parents said that there was no space for the tree. They had no choice but to cut it off.
Nick was terribly sad and in a pool of tears. At night, his mother said, “Nick, it is time to go to sleep”. In the morning when Nick woke up he got a great shock. The tree had grown back! He was flabbergasted and now realized why his Grandpa had said that the seed was special. He told everyone in the neighborhood. What a joyous day it was for him!

THE END.
