The Blog Completes one more Year and we begin our blogs for February 2022

February, another new month,  look forward to our bloggers wooing their Valentines, month for some of our silent visitors to come out of the closet and mark their attendance....  On January, 17, 2021, we started our whatsapp group as Stanes High School-Global and a proud moment for us with many Alumni coming together. The group is almost full with representation from around 1955 onwards.

A proud update, Stanes Had been trying to expand its premises towards Ritz since 1971, however, Kudos to the current Council and the Principal Mr Glenn Corning, about 52 cents of Ritz land has now become part of the Stanes School Property. Hopefully the Flats get straightened and the much awaited expansion of the classes commence soon.

Added a alumni registration form please fill in https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdJ5AcjZBA6VnN86avRoi2EUdgGCcYfLyqw0kiRgN2Ru1buJQ/viewform?usp=sf_link

January 2022 Posts

January 2022

December 2021 was an uneventful month with the blog getting 0 posts. 
The Pandemic had most of the year closed with the economy picking up a wee bit and the year ending with sensex soaring at 50K

Stanes High School WhatsApp group has rekindled interest with a cross section of students logging in, hope the tempo sustains. Some memories have revived. Finally the school has acquired about 51 Acres of Land from Ritz. The Iconic Ritz is being razed to the ground and hopefully a suitable edifice would come up since it is taken over by a group led by an alumni.

December 2021 Posts- The world stares at another variant The Omicron spreading with renewed might

December
We come to the end of the year. With new variants of Corona being identified we expect the restrictions to continue for another year and Christmas around the corner, we do have many waiting for the pandemic to get over. Though the economy, business and schools and colleges opening up, covid appropriate behaviour may have to be adhered for more time.

What would be our scores this month?

The covid-19 Pandemic appears to be under control. Cases have fallen in most states in India,  the economy across the world limps along.... where are our regular Bloggers we hope to have more Stanite Bloggers logging in. We have only 1 post last month.. With Children's day around, and winters setting in, hopefully our bloggers would be in their homes and would access their blogs. The western world sets their clocks forward by an hour
