As one of our goal to provide more performing opportunities
in school, Performing Arts Student Committee is holding its first performance
on October 9th! It will be from 8:00am to 8:25am under the staircase in the
courtyard. Please stop by the courtyard anytime to enjoy some beautiful music
by the students!
Despite a warm start, fifteen ladies headed to Parry’s Corner to explore festive designs for Diwali. The first stop was to T. Mangharam, one of the largest saree shops in Parry’s Corner. Everything from everyday sarees to exquisite lehengas for weddings are available here. Once inside, the sales clerks immediately set to work to find the perfect saree for everyone in the group. The ladies wrapped themselves in several different designs before selecting the perfect saree.
After an hour or so of browsing, the group headed down the street to explore the jewelry shops in Parry’s Corner. The main avenue is lined with jewelry shops that are stacked to the ceiling with bangles, necklaces, and earrings in hundreds of designs. After trying on dozens of bangles, the ladies made their purchases and headed out for a brief walk to Hotel Saravana Bhavan for lunch. Once they finished a lunch of dosas, curries and more, the group headed back to school with their purchases in hand.
The PCA arranged to bring in a seamstress in who specializes in saree blouses. Each lady was measured and fitted for the blouse to go with their brand new saree. We look forward to seeing all the designs at the Diwali Mela on October 28.
ES Family Movie Evening
Dear Parents,
The PCA and the CIC have teamed up to offer families a fun movie evening! We will be showing the BFG on November 20 after school and will also serve refreshments!
BFG is a humorous novel written by Roald Dahl and was later adapted into a movie. We are hosting this event as a chance to connect students and parents with a great book that they can read together or separately. We also hope to open some discussion on differences and similarities between the book and the movie. Just to note this movie is rated PG (UA in India), which is suitable for upper elementary ages. However, lower elementary kids could also watch this movie with parental discretion. Regardless of the age, all elementary students must be accompanied by a parent during the movie evening.
More details will soon follow about the actual movie evening itself, however, we want to give families adequate time to purchase and read the book if interested before the movie evening takes place. Please note that you don’t have to read the book to come to the movie, but we think it will be a more enjoyable experience if you have had the chance to read it beforehand. A sign-up sheet to attend the movie night will be made available on Friday, November 3rd.
For more details or information on how to order the book, please stop by our information table near the elementary reception from 2:30-3:45 on Tuesday (Oct 10) or Thursday (Oct 12). You can also email Sossity Smith (ssossitypca@aischennai.org) or Jet Willette (wjeremy@aischennai.org) for more information.
Thank you,
The PCA and the CIC Team
