For students of Little Flower School, Odyssey 2003, an exclusive three-day event, provided an opportunity for the students of LFS to showcase their talents recently.
The council members’ inaugural classical dance was an enthralling experience. From drama to dance, songs to quizzes, Odyssey has it all.
The folk dances of different states made the mind saunter to the lush tea gardens of Assam and the dry sands of Rajasthan. Items like grand quiz, puzzle quiz, creative writing, wordstar provided ample challenge for the participants. The high-tech science quiz had questions projected by an L.C.D. projector. It was in the form of a slide show.
There were 32 items in the meet. Odyssey is not only fun for the student council, who organises it with the help of teachers, but it also teaches them of hard work, team spirit and above all, responsibility.

The DBMS School campus wore a sombre look with the first terminal examinations knocking on our doors. Our exams begin on July 14 and will go on till July 24.
The 11 daylong stretch is sure to sap our energies but the upcoming events such as Rhapsody and Psychosis are something to look forward to.
Students also seem to be busy preparing for the approaching exams and even those who spent much of their free time idling on the campus are found with their heads buried in books. It is study time pals. Best of luck!

A senior biology teacher of our school, A Jayashree, was given a touching farewell as she bid adieu to the institution. Though she promised to keep in touch with us, it was difficult for us to believe that she would no longer be a part of us.
An excellent teacher with outstanding teaching potential, she was a second mother to us. The equation that we all shared with her was inexplicable and her presence will be always missed.
