| NEW PARENT COFFEE The PTA Executive Committee would like to issue a warm welcome to all of our new AISC families. We are glad you are here. We held our first New Parent Coffee on Thursday, August 30th. It was well attended and filled with helpful information for parents new to our community. During the coffee, several parents indicated they would enjoy exploring parts of the city with others from our community. |
FIRST PARENT OUTING
On September 12th, a group of parents took a trip to Parry's corner, the wholesale and retail market of Chennai. This area, which is near the Chennai Central railway station, and the District Court house, speaks of purchases that can be made in bulk or small quantities. There are fresh fruits, spices, household goods, cloths, lights, and so much more. This is an experience you should not miss while living in Chennai. If you are interested in participating in such a trip in the future, please email us at pta@aisch.org.
