We are offering a special session on Thursday, February 15, for a small group of librarians. Thirty librarian will be visiting 15 local schools, 2 librarians per school, to help them with their libraries. Librarians will also be donating 50 books in English and Tamil to the school that they visit.

February PCA Parent Outing
Saravanna Shopping Spree

T. Nagar is the heart of Chennai and Usman Road is the main artery that connects the neighborhood together. It also happens to be the busiest shopping street in the world. On any given day there are thousands of people walking from shop to shop, admiring the silk sarees and shining gold jewelry. On the weekends, it turns into a veritable river of people flowing down the street. Ladies dress in their finest clothes as they browse the windows lining the street.

On Friday, February 23 we will take a trip to the heart of Chennai to see some of the iconic shopping destinations that attract shoppers from all over Chennai. Our trip will include stops at Saravana Stores to explore 8 floors of clothing and home goods. We will continue down the street to Saravana Jewelry, which has different floors dedicated to different types of jewelry, including diamonds and gemstones. We will also visit Nalli and learn a bit more about what makes a Kancheepuram silk saree unique and then finish our shopping at a typical metalware and housewares store. Hidden treasures can often be found in these shops. We will end our tour with lunch at BKR hotel, a rooftop multicuisine restaurant with a gorgeous view of the city. Sign up online here if you are interested. You will need money for lunch and if you decide to do any shopping.
