Vedic Heritage School Teachers and Volunteers Appreciation Celebrated at Sri Meenakshi Temple
Sri Meenakshi Temple Vedic Heritage School (VHS) Teachers and Volunteers appreciation day, with MTS Board.
PEARLAND: Sri Meenakshi Temple Society (MTS) in Pearland celebrated the 2014 Vedic Heritage School (VHS) Teachers and Volunteers (T&V) Appreciation Day on Sunday, March 2.
The first VHS class was started in 2000 with a modest beginning with about two dozen students and five volunteers. The VHS growth has been dramatic with an enrollment in excess of 220 with about thirty teachers, volunteers and teaching assistants. The VHS recently had celebrated the very successful Shlokotsavam on February 16 and it is befitting to honor the Teachers and Volunteers with the appreciation Day, who have been a key driver for the development of the children.
The event began with the young children demonstrating what they have learned and thanking the teachers in their own inimitable style which was touching. The VHS coordinators, Garuda Rao, MahaLakshmi Panchavaty and Sripathy Karnam, along with all the teachers and volunteers helped to run this segment smoothly.
The recognition began with the Invocatory Slokas to Sri Saraswathi. MTS Education committee coordinator and Executive director of MTS board, Meena Subramanian gave the opening remarks and introduced the MTS Chairman Dr. Vaduganathan to present the awards. Dr. Vaduganathan remarked on how his young adult children had grown being an Integral part of the VHS School, attending the classes and immensely benefitting from the experience which was much appreciated. He added that this is a typical experience of a number of families that have benefitted from the service that VHS has offered from its inception. Several MTS board members were present to lend their support to the VHS School, and especially appreciated the tremendous efforts of the teachers and volunteers, each of whom was recognized individually. A sumptuous lunch was served as part of the appreciation, enjoyed by all.
