In the vibrant world of education, the key to unlocking a child's potential lies in making the learning process both enjoyable and meaningful. When our little readers were given a chance to be a part of the crafting of the newspaper itself, their learning shot up to the nextlevel. From researching topics, writing them, filtering out the best, and compiling the works, students were exposed to many areas that wouldn’t be their usual call otherwise. The joy of students seeing their faces in the print media kicks a different spark within them, who are the experts of the digital world. Apart from the boost in confidence among children, their genuine spirit to contribute works to the paper uplifted in a great way. The opportunity to get involved in the team for the guest edition of our school gave them a sense of responsibility and an urge to be more creative. When the children came to us with their deep wish to create their own printed student editions and to lead the team, it proved the impact of the efforts for the edition they had put in.

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has embarked on a comprehensive series of initiatives aimed at reshaping India's food safety and nutrition landscape. These initiatives are designed to ensure the availability and consumption of safe food and healthy diets among the country's citizens. One of the pivotal programs under this initiative is the "Eat Right School" program. This program has a primary objective of fostering awareness about food safety, nutrition, and hygiene among school children, with the broader aim of extending this awareness to the community at large. Recognizing the influential role that children play in societal change, the FSSAI believes that delivering messages through them can catalyze behavioral change and promote a culture of safe and nutritious eating. Given that dietary habits are often formed early in life, the incorporation of food and nutrition into both the curriculum and extracurricular activities at the school level becomes indispensable. The significance of safe foods and healthy diets is particularly pronounced in light of India's substantial burden of foodborne diseases, under-nutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, and the escalating incidence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular ailments. As a part of the "Eat Right India" campaign, a dedicated yoga session was conducted at The Village International School on September 18, 2023, in collaboration with Food Safety, Idukki. Dr. Ragendhu M, Food Safety Officer of the Thodupuzha circle, along with Unnikrishnan C V, led the session by providing instructions to the school's Physical Education Department. Furthermore, as a proactive participant in the campaign, the school registered itself for this initiative. Two teachers were nominated as Health and Wellness Ambassadors and received certification from FSSAI after successfully completing an online examination. To seamlessly integrate these initiatives into the curriculum, FSSAI has curated an extensive repository of content developed by domain experts, catering to both students and teacher training programs. The school has enthusiastically adopted these projects and is actively engaging in the activities outlined in the recommended books for schools, with the invaluable support of its Health and Wellness Ambassadors.
