How time flies by.....and we wonder...where did the years go....i remember the day we started Swami Vivekanand Academy with just 22 kids...it was March 1992..every thing was new and exciting then....thinking of a smart uniform....thinking of suitable prayers for assembly...taking interviews of parents...then teachers......selecting the books....making attractive charts...
We got very good parents ..who appreciated us...and hard working sincere teachers....and by word of mouth the school grew fast.... Our mission statement was ."A school with a difference" "A school specially created for your child"...
In those days every thing about our school was different. We had a lot many extra curricular activities and celebrations of all festivals...Janmashtami, Holi,Diwali all were celebrated with great enthusiasm.
All those wonderful experiences can never be forgotten!!....Those cute kids of nursery and junior kg.......some adorable nursery kids used to spend quite some time on my lap!! They must be smart young college students now!!
Our first annual day....our first 4th board exam....our first photo in the news paper...so many firsts....
Swami Vivekanand was always my idol...his words...
ARISE ,AWAKE , AND STOP NOT TILL THE GOAL IS REACHED.... was a message for all of us...teachers and students.....and we worked hard with a single goal….To make the school special….

I almost had tears in my eyes wen i was reading ur blog mam...
ReplyDeleteThe School is the most important part in da life of a Student .. dey a moulded into their form der.. I was in da school frm Playgroup (preSchool) to 10th ... i had a ball of a time ... words are nt enough to express ma feeilngs, wat i was, i am, n i will b is all due to the efforts of the School ...
me n ol da students are indebted by the school..
I promise you mam... i promise dat da effort dat the school took n us will nt b flushed away ... We wont let dem..
Our school was different ... we celebrated ol da festivals .. it was fun .. we understood abt da Indian festivals only b'coz of the school..
I remember each n every day of my school rite frm da day i joined ... da small school in da N-3, to da gigantic big building in da M.I.D.C., out playgrounds, Tiffins, Classrooms, teachers ...
I love Music ... n i got the rite direction in our school .. we wer brodcasted on da "Akashwani" a'bad 2 times...
Just as Saurabh said .. da day wen we had to host the Annual day, we really wer tensed but ur words gave a boost to our Confidance ..
Ders a very lil place avilable here to write abt the school n u mam...
but u hav olwayz been a source of Inspiration for me ...
I'am Unaware abt the school rite now coz m out for studing ... but da day i Suceed, da first thing m gonna do is to visit my school "Swami Vivekanand Academy" - da name itself is enough to explain da greatness of the school ...
Mam.. i hav friends from ol da school in A'bad .. but none of the student is greatful foor the wrk done by their school ... In da begining i was confuesd as to why r students soo unfaithful ..??? but eventually i came to know ... da emotional relation dat existed bet' us was never seen in other students...
Datz da thing different abt this school ... mam u hav proved da quote "A School with A Difference" ol des years ....
I promise u today ... as a student i'll never let you down ever in my life ...
(pls xcuze my spelling errors mam) .. !!
