Karuna Rally & Grandparents Day
"Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed" Mahatma Gandhi The Karuna club of Chinmaya Vidyalaya Virugambakkam took up a rally on 'Nature Conservation' on 23rd August, 2013. Senior Karuna members Shri Prakash Gulecha and Shri KPJ Reddy flagged off the rally. Around 250 children took part in the rally. Children made colourful placards with meaningful slogans in order to spread awareness about the need for conserving nature. They also made paper bags (made from newspapers) and distributed them to various shops and urged them to stop using plastic bags. Through this rally, general public and also children were made aware of the need of the hour - 'Conserving Nature for the Future'. Senior Karuna members Shri Prakash Gulecha and Shri KPJ Reddy gave prizes to the best placards and slogans. The rally covered a distance of 3 km. Police jeep and motorbikes that came along with the rally facilitated the rally to go on smoothly. Grandparents Day Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children. Grandparents are our heritage and are essential members of our families and communities. That is why in our school a special day, Grandparent's Day, is set aside every year to honour them. Our Principal Mrs. P. Vijayalakshmi and correspondent Shri. N. Nagarajan welcomed the grandparents on this day. Children were given an opportunity to express their love and gratitude to their grandparents. They organised several games for them and gave away gifts. On a concluding note, Principal Mrs. P. Vijayalakshmi expressed her sincere gratitude to the grandparents who are a family's strong foundation and who through their special love and caring, keep a family close at heart.
