Spring 2016 at Sandipani Muni School. A time for new beginnings and a time for farewells. A time for results and a time for promotions when it comes to our students progressing to the next level of studying.
A time for the 12th Grade girls who have been with us since their kindergarten or nursery days to enter a new stage of higher education and to start to consolidate their life plans regarding a career or a vocation. A time to say goodbye to a school which has shaped their personalities, a school which has guided, sheltered and fed them all these years, a place in which they will always be welcome to be part of and contribute towards the development and educational process of many other girls who will follow their example and follow in their footsteps. A place that will not be easy to forget.
The 2015-2016 school term has now come to an end and the new term has started from the 1st of April. We had two celebrations that have marked these rites of passage: The first was the 12th grade farewell part hosted by the 11th Grade students and the second was the Prize giving ceremony for all the students from the Prep Classes to the 11th Grade based on the best 4 students for each class based on the quality of their studies, behavior and attendance.
These few images are a record of both events which has marked the transition our girls are going through and the mood of celebration of achievement.
You might recognize some of your students amongst the faces in the photos. You might also see how they have blossomed and developed themselves into fine individuals whose past was of uncertainty and bleakness regarding their future, only thanks to your ongoing support we have been able to achieve the goal of educating these girls and providing an environment in which they could be safe and able to escape the cycle of poverty and bleak hopelessness which their parents had to deal with for generations.
Sangam, our student promoted to 12th Grade and visibly moved to tears upon being called on stage to receive first prize in her class for having excelled in her studies, her conduct and attendance.
We would like to thank you for your contributions who are transforming the lives of these girls and turning them into educated and confident individuals. We hope that you continue to support many more of these girls at the school and continue to walk this road with us untill the last girl is educated.
