Subject: Heartfelt Gratitude for the Educational Field Trip – “One Trip, A Lifetime Lesson”

<

Respected Madam/Sir,

I hope this letter finds you in the best of health and spirits.

I write to you as a grateful parent to express my deepest appreciation to you, the devoted teaching staff, and the entire team at New Bombay City School (CBSE) for organizing such a thoughtful and meaningful educational field trip for the students on 26th July 2025. The trip — which included visits to a Gurudwara, Church, Mosque, and Temple in Vashi — was not just enriching but truly transformative, especially for my daughter Veerali Vikram Pimprikar, a Grade 1 student. The moment she read the note in her school diary, our home was filled with excitement, curiosity, and anticipation. Veerali’s joy, innocence, and eagerness were heart-warming. She carefully packed her bag with sandwiches, fruits, a raincoat — and a heart full of wonder. As a mother, I naturally had my monsoon worries — What if she gets wet? Will she fall sick? Will she be well looked after? But those concerns were soon overshadowed by my trust in the care and planning your school consistently provides. When Veerali returned, her eyes sparkled with experiences that went beyond her young years. She shared how: At the Church, she saw a statue of Jesus Christ and learned about love and forgiveness. In the Gurudwara, she sat in the langar and understood the value of equality. At the Mosque, the Maulana spoke gently about peace and humility, explaining the meaning of Islam through the word Bismillah. At the Krishna Temple, she sang bhajans, received prasad, and felt a deep sense of serenity. Later that evening, she asked me: > “Mom… Everyone prays in different ways, but all Gods talk about love. So… are all Gods the same?”

That innocent question touched something very deep within me — a moment of silent reflection and profound truth.

🪷 A Short Poem – Inspired by Her Journey

Drizzles of rain, the journey began,

Tiny feet stepping into life’s grand plan…

Names may differ, rituals too,

But love is the prayer that shines through.

Gurudwara, Church, Mosque, Temple — all align,

Mercy, forgiveness, compassion — truly divine.

What bloomed today in that young mind,

Will light the world — human, kind, and refined.

I’d also like to share a timeless verse that echoes the spirit of this initiative: > “Ekam said viprā bahudhā vadanti” (Rigveda 1.164.46) “Truth is one; the wise speak of it in many ways.”

---

This wasn’t just a school field trip — it was a journey of spiritual, cultural, and human understanding. It gently planted seeds of communal harmony, tolerance, and universal love in my daughter’s tender heart.

Thank you once again for this uplifting initiative. As a parent and as a citizen, I feel truly proud and reassured knowing that my child is growing up in an institution that not only educates — but enlightens, nurtures, and shapes the future of our world.

With warm regards and heartfelt thanks,

Teachers are also very nice to students. They not only teach what is there in books but also share extra knowledge to students. Students understand more better by their way of teaching. Especially our honourable Principal of the School, she is really very supportive and always stands by her students. Many circular activities are also held, like Scout and Guide Camps, Annual Functions, Sports Day, Educational Trips for Students, Activities related to our culture and religion etc.

Atlast, I would like to say a best school ever made for each and every student of our nation. Very beautiful school

The annual day event organised by the students and teachers of NBCS CBSE school on 22nd December 2022 was a grand event. Clearly one of the finest shows, we have witnessed so far. As parents, the first thing we noticed was the phenomenal arrangements made to accommodate the large audience with ample orderly seating and a raised stage with large side screens for easy viewing by all. The performances put up by the children were excellent beyond par. In this inclusive event where all students were participants dressed in cute costumes, the theme of the numerous dances ranged from initial prayer songs to depiction of folk dances from various parts of India as well as some traditional Maharashtrian dances like Gondhal, Lezim and even Lavani.

I would say the Farewell organised by NBCS for the batch of 2022-23 was amazing. Starting from the Ramp Walk event to the QNA and lastly to the DJ and the food was also the best. I truly appreciate the efforts put in by our Principal Ma'am, Mrs. Avneet Kaur and all our teachers and coordinating staff to make this day so auspicious for us.

I would surely say that this is one of the best parties I have ever attended. Once again a Thank You to Principal Ma'am and to all teachers for this evening. Awesome Experience...... Loved it...

Very supportive administration and a great principal Mrs Avneetkaur . It was hard on students during covid times but the staff and the principal took utmost care to not let the students be affected . Not only academically but also morally. During the cbse final exams there was a traffic snarl and many students were late in reaching the exam centre . The principal herself reached the centre with the support staff to make sure that children were allowed to appear after taking all the necessary permissions from the concerned officials. This was far beyond her line of duty. Much appreciated by all. Keep up the good work NBCS ! Best wishes always
