Dear Parents and students,
This has been an amazing week, albeit a short one! We welcomed our MS students back to campus this week with a supportive and safe Orientation. Students were involved in activities with their Advisors, as well as with their classmates and teachers in preparation for full classes on November 8th. We hope that the joy that students felt over the past three days spills over into the Diwali weekend.
Thank you to students, parents and teachers for ensuring that our idea of Middle School Orientation was a successful one. We could not have done it without the support of our MS Office, support staff, cafeteria staff, tech team, security and to all members of the MS team. As they say, “it takes a village”. This week was full evidence of that and we are very thankful for everyone’s support.
Here is the calendar of upcoming events:

Craft Mela is an annual art sale held by Art Sustain, where we invite Chennai-based artists and provide them with a platform where they could showcase and sell their work. This year, we are working with artist K. Gukanraj, S.Thiyagarajan, and K. Baskar. Visit our website to view and purchase the works.
We hope you have a wonderful weekend and Happy Diwali. I speak on behalf of all the Middle School teachers when I say that we had a fantastic 3 day week with your children on campus this past week. We look forward to seeing your children again on Monday November 8th!
Take care,
Jennifer Bertram
Middle School Principal
