This week, our learners visited Toyota, where they presented their work both as individual teams and through hallway presentations. It was an enriching experience that strengthened their confidence and communication skills. We also completed Unit 7 and administered the unit test. Learners will have an opportunity on Monday to review their assessments and complete corrections. For the remainder of the week, we will focus on project presentations across different grade levels, showcasing each learner’s growth and creativity.
धर्मे स्थितो यो न चलत्यधर्मात्
कार्ये स्थितो यो न विहन्यतेऽपि।
सत्यं वदन् आत्मनिष्ठो भवेत् सः
लोकस्य मार्गं सुपथं विधत्ते॥
Transliteration:
dharme sthito yo na calaty adharmāt
kārye sthito yo na vihanyate’pi
satyaṁ vadan ātmaniṣṭho bhavet saḥ
lokasya mārgaṁ supathaṁ vidhatte
Translation:
One who remains steadfast in righteousness and does not waver toward wrongdoing;
who stays committed to duty without discouragement;
who speaks truth and stands firm in self-discipline—
such a person illuminates the right path for the world.
Applicability:
This śloka highlights qualities valuable to all humans: integrity, resilience, truthfulness, and self-discipline. When individuals embody these traits, they not only strengthen their own character but also influence their communities by providing a model of ethical conduct and purposeful living.
As we head into Christmas break next week, the newsletter will not be updated during the holiday period. I will resume updates before the start of the third nine weeks, providing all the information you will need for the second semester.
