HOLI HOLI HOLI!

The children enjoyed Holi with the teachers. The children are encouraged to celebrate all the important Indian festivals of all religions. This was one more fun filled day in their lives...

Our Team!

It just occurred to me that, we have never posted pictures of the all the staff!
I have to tell ya! It is such a pleasure to work with every teacher and staff member in this school! They have so much heart and pride for Gurukulam, and I just love my team! This is truly a very unique group of people with the most amount of love for teaching, mentoring, guiding I have ever seen!

Thank you Gurukulam staff for all that you do! :):) :)

Republic Day 2010

Well Gurukulam students did it again. We ROCKED the RD celebrations and showed our patriotism to the guest who attended the show.

We started off with the Welcome speech from Pragdeesh of 5TH Grade. Then we welcomed our Chief Guest Mr. Vijay Sambhrani and Guest of Honors- Mrs. Mythili, Mr. S.L Reddy to the school.

Then we kicked it off with the opening of our new classroom which has been funded wholly by her and family! Thanks Mrs. Mythili, Mr Ravishankar and dear Venki!!!!

Then it was off to the program. I am so proud of our Teachers, Staff and most of all our Children, for coming together and making Republic Day super special.

I would also like to thank Mr. Kishor Reddy for Donating a brand NEW computer for our much needed computer lab! I would also like to thank Chennai Social Services for donating the story books for the children to read! Thank you sooooo much for everything you do for our school!

Happy Republic Day India!!! Jai Hind!

Happy New Year- and Welcome Back Students!!

Welcome Back Students, Teachers and Staff of Gurukulam! Well we are back for an awesome 2010 3rd Term. Our children performed so well in the last term, we expect nothing less, then perfect scores for the 3rd term. We started out with a our normal routine of prayer, songs, and hoisting the flag. Then the children wished all the staff and fellow students "Good Morning" and " Happy New Year"! Then the students with their " Brand New Uniforms" were off for fun and games. The children played, cricket, ball toss, and musical boxes. Then we stuffed ourselves silly with yummy cake! Then we had lunch! LOL.... we couldn't wait to eat the cake after lunch... hehehe. The rest of the afternoon was for studies! But the children were super happy to be back at school!

We ROCKED the HCL Program

Well Gurukulam Kids did it again! We were invited to give a performance at HCL for their O 2 Annual Day . The children from 4th and 5th Standard rocked the 1000 person awards cermoney by singing and dancing. They sung two songs.- Hi and Ho- We plant trees and Bubblegum.

I was so proud of them. They only had 4 days to practice two songs, and they mastered it on stage! In the beginning, we were not sure if we could do it, but what can I say,,, our kids are just AWESOME!

Mr. Porres of the Community Service Council in HCL, really made us feel part of the HCL family. The children were gifted sweets and the school was given a check for Rs. 15,000/- to be used for outdoor play equipment for Gurukulam.

We were also invited to stay back and watch the program of the staff putting on skits, songs, and dances for their function. Then after that the children stayed back for a super yummy dinner.

As the children were leaving to head home for the night, HCL surprised us with 5 boxes worth of candy to give to the rest of the students at Gurukulam! : )

We would like to thank HCL for letting us come and enjoy your O2 Annual Day. We had a great time!

Hooray, Hooray its Children's Day! Lots of Fun for everyone, HOORAY!

Well it's that time of year! To celebrate all the children in India, and to thank them for being KIDS!

This year at Gurukulam it was decided that we would let the children, sit back, relax, and put their feet up to enjoy a program of laughter and fun from their teachers! The program had - skits, songs, dances, and a fashion show. The lady teachers were hoping to grab the trophy for the fashion show, but it was stolen by Mr. Solomon. He dressed up as both Mr. and Mrs. Solomon. Since our children were the judges, he won!!! LOL

Let me tell you, we had the children laughing so much!

Great job to all the staff at Gurukulam for making Children's day sooooo much fun for the kids.

How to make a bridge!

Children of Class 3 were learning about bridges, and how bridges were built in their Science Class.

I asked the children why this class was so much fun, and they responded back; Mr. Solomon lets us experiment and lets us bring what we read in the text book come to life. He's a lot of fun! We love science!

Way to go Mr. Solomon! Excellent job kids!!!! : ) : )
