Foreword 

Greetings from Swabodhini!

The month of September was lively with celebrations at Swabodhini, marking Teachers’ Day, Vinayakar Chaturthi, Onam, and a final celebration of birthdays.

On Teachers’ Day, our support staff honoured our teachers and therapists with gifts, expressing heartfelt thanks. They see firsthand how challenging and rewarding it is to work with children with special needs, making it a meaningful celebration of our dedicated faculty.

In the second week, we held a Parent-Teacher Meet, where teachers discussed each student’s progress in detail. We were delighted to hear from parents that their children enjoy coming to school so much that they look forward to each day.

We are incredibly proud of our students who participated in the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister’s Trophy and “The Real Heroes” Sports & Cultural Meet, bringing home several prizes.

Our heartfelt thanks go out to Team Acqueon for their enthusiastic support during our Sports Day. Their dedication to helping our children through the track and field events, despite the heat, was inspiring. They cheered for our students and contributed to a memorable day, especially during the prize distribution.

As always, we ended the month with birthday celebrations for students and staff across our four centres.

We look forward to sharing more exciting updates with you next month!

Best Regards,

Nandini Priyakumari
