School's Out

Here are some pictures of Ashwin and Priya's last day at Jessie Moses school. As some of you may know, Ashwin and Priya came to Chennai in June 2008 and immediately started school without any summer break. To help make up for that, this year they will have two summer breaks. The school year here ended in mid April, followed by a seven week summer break. Ashwin and Priya resumed school, in fourth and first standard, on June 3rd (since all the friends were going back and there wouldn't be much to do at home). We thought they deserved a little break before they started school in Boston, so we took them out of school on July 17th. On the last day of school Ashwin and Priya wore colored clothes and distributed candy to their friends and teachers. We are proud of how well Priya and Ashwin did in a school (both academically and socially) which was very different from what they were used to. Great job guys!

Ashwin and Priya,

Ashwin - you looked so handsome in your last day of school outfit.
AND little Miss Priya, you look adorable in that beautiful sari. What an unforgetable time the two of you have had this past year+.
However, we can't wait til you are back.
Lots of hugs are awaiting your return.
Love
Auntie Jackie
