To recognize and honor our amazing volunteers, the Golden Acorn and Outstanding Advocate Awards were announced recently. Thanks to Erinn Chapman for being extremely thorough and organized as the Chair of Volunteer Appreciation. Erinn is the also the one who “Spotlights” the Volunteer of the Month by bringing a treat to their doorstep along with a sweet note of thanks! It is our turn to say Thank You to Erinn for making others feel so special!

Last but not the least A HUGE thanks to Sandhya Kumar for coordinating the really successful science fair that took place on March 31. The Science Fair is a huge event that requires months of planning and coordination. This year for the lack of having a chair person, the Science Fair would have been shelved. Sandhya stepped in at the right time and decided to chair both the portions of the Science Fair: The Daytime and the Evening. This is one of the most popular events at the school and we cannot thank Sandhya enough for making sure that the students did not miss out and had an opportunity to conduct their yearly experiments in anticipation of the Science Fair. Thanks Sandhya for all your efforts!

It is our endeavor to thank and mention by name all our hardworking volunteers every month. Sometimes we do not have all names of the volunteers who help out or might inadvertently omit to mention some volunteers. If you notice that, please do let us know and we’ll make it right in the newsletter next month!
