CELEBRATING GOD%u2019S GOODNESS 215110 Years of ClarenceOnce, in a quiet village, there was an old tree that had stood tall for 110 years. The villagers called it the \Knowledge\it had seen many children grow, play and learn under its branches. Its roots were deep and its wide branches gave shade to all who sat beneath it.Children gathered there every day, listening to elders, playing and studying. The tree had seen many happy moments, friendships and also hard times. It stood silently, giving shelter and support, always there, no matter what.One day, a boy named Arun sat under the tree, feeling sad. He had worked hard at his studies but still couldn%u2019t do as well as others. The tree, sensing his sadness, rustled its leaves softly. Just then, an elder sat beside Arun and asked, \Arun replied, \as smart as others.\The elder smiled and pointed to the tree. \tree has been here for 110 years, but it didn%u2019t grow tall overnight. It took time and patience and faced many storms. You are like this tree. Learning takes time, and every challenge makes you stronger, like the wind that helps the tree grow.\Arun felt better after hearing this. He understood that it was okay to take time to learn. Slowly, he became more confident in his studies. Whenever he felt discouraged, he would return to the tree, remembering the elder%u2019s words.Years passed, and Arun grew into a wise and strong person. He always remembered the tree%u2019s lesson of patience and never giving up.Just like the old tree, our school has stood tall for 110 years, teaching many students valuable lessons. We are like the children under the tree, learning and growing every day, ready to face the challenges of life.Jeremy Matthew VargheseClass 7DClarence: The SUPERCENTENARIANClass 8Clarence High School is now a hundred and ten years old!
