Dear Principal,
Literature is the foundation of life. It is a journey that is inscribed
in pages, and powered by the imagination of the reader. It
enables people to see through the lenses of others and becomes
a looking glass into the world. Literature is a gateway to teach
the reader about life experiences from even the saddest stories
to the most joyful ones that will touch their hearts.
To savour the beauty of English Literature, DPS Dwarka
is organizing ‘LUMINARIUM – The Inter School English
Literature Festival’ on 28 & 29 July 2016. A multitude of
innovative and creative events have been planned by the
members of the English Department.
This literary pilgrimage will enable the children to learn more
and explore more. Exposing children to good literary works
is equivalent to providing them with the finest of educational
opportunities. We hope that you will appreciate our endeavour
in this direction.
We look forward to enthusiastic participation of the students of
your school in the Literature Festival.
With regards,
Yours sincerely,
Sunita Tanwar
Principal
