Parental involvement on the social media platform provides the schools with unrivalled value these days. At BenchMark, we have a very strong relationship with our Parent community. We are glad for the synergy and support extended by our parents and hope that this partnership continues to grow stronger.
The Parents’ corner is dedicated to encourage our parents demonstrate their hidden talents. We wholeheartedly welcome our parents to share their insights in the form of articles, poems, stories etc. Poems, stories, anecdotes, experiences, travelogues, memoirs- an piece of quality creative/experience-centered writing can come this way.
We would like to acknowledge the contributions of our respective parents who have been our constant source of inspiration to the development of our school.
