On Sunday, December 25, Sangat gathered and watched “Chaar Sahibzaday” to remember the Sikh ithihas that took place in the month of Poh. After the movie, prizes were drawn for children that attended the event. Let’s not forget the countless sacrifices and Shaheedis of our ancestors, including Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Jee and Their entire family. It is because of their Kurbani that we are here today. 

Before students went on their Shaheedi Dihaday break, we had a week full of parent-teacher interviews! During these interviews, teachers discussed midterm exam marks and student progress with families. 

The Punjabi department was incredibly busy. All classes spent the month of November completing practice exams, followed by receiving individual feedback on their performance. Students completed their final midterms. They received their grades during parent-teacher interviews!

For the month of November, GCY was facilitated by Bhai Anoop Singh. Anoop Singh shared his experience staying at the Vidyala with Sant Giani Bhagwan Singh Ji Bhindranwale and his first time in India! After the discussion, an intense and fun game of musical chairs was played followed by pizza dinner and ice cream sundaes!

For the month of October, GCY was facilitated by Bhai Bayantseva Singh! He talked about his experience staying at the Miri Piri Academy in Amritsar. After the discussion, a fun game of Pictionary was played followed by pizza dinner and dessert! 

Students have been working hard for two weeks as they successfully completed their mock exams! Mock exams helped the students get ready for their midterms the week after in which they will be tested on everything they have learnt since September. Students will receive their grades and individual feedback in the upcoming weeks during Parent-Teacher Interviews! 

Sevadars came together to set up the Gurdwara Sahib for the Shaheedi Smagam. Sevadars put up posters and banners all around the Gurdwara Sahib. These posters and banners were set up to commemorate the countless Shaheeds of 1984. 

Candy packing was a success! Over 40 Sevadars, from grade 3 to university gathered together to pack 300 candy bags for the Shaheedi Smagam. We are so thankful to these wonderful Sevadars.

Sevadars went shopping and filled up many shopping carts with candy! All this candy is going to be packed in candy bags which will replace the candy that children would have gotten if they went trick-or-treating. Come to the Shaheedi Smagam on October 31 for an evening of Sangat, Katha, Gatka, prizes, candy and much more!
