Namaskar Mandali!

We hope you had a wonderful summer!

Our new 2024-25 Marathi Shala year resumes this weekend, Sunday Aug 18. We will be operating three branches this year in Cypress, Katy and Sugarland. Interest in enrolling children in Marathi Shala has been increasing year over year and this
year is no exception. We will be hosting around 120+ students this year across the three branches. Our volunteer teachers and Shala coordinators are ready to make this year a memorable one for the Shala students. As last year, we will be continuing the successful initiatives put in place by the committee as listed below –

  • Treasure box/small prizes – Each branch will have a treasure box, to encourage our young students to complete Shala related activities.
  • Homework/Reading log – To encourage students to continue their Marathi studies at home between weekend classes, reading/writing homework will be assigned to students which parents need to supervise and sign upon completion.
  • Birthday celebrations – Aukshan will be performed by teacher/parents in their classes
  • Reading buddies – Older students will be reading books and reciting stories to younger students
  • Mystery readers – Parents/grandparents/relatives come to the Shala to read stories in class
  • Shala time will be 2 hours for all students
  • Combined Diwali celebration for all branches along with distribution of BMM certificates during the function
  • Annual day will be held in March 2025

We are excited to welcome a new batch of students, teachers, volunteers and parents to our Shala for the new academic year 2024-25. The first day of Shala is Sunday August 18.

Thank you for your continued support!
