We had the opporยญtuยญnity to have an hour-long live video chat with a man (a friend of Ron sir) who is on the front lines in Ukraine, helping innoยญcent civilยญians by bringยญing them food and offerยญing to take them to safety in shelยญters far from the danger of war zone.
This is a great way to educate our youth, by giving them these sorts of rare opporยญtuยญniยญties to underยญstand other culยญtures, other conยญcepts, world history, current events, applicยญaยญble English lanยญguage, and to sort through it all in order to forยญmuยญlate their own opinยญions and world-views.
We thank Brad for taking the time to give our stuยญdents a rare look into the life of someone who has decided to risk his own life in order to help others.
And, we thank our stuยญdents for forยญmuยญlatยญing such poignant and relยญeยญvant quesยญtions. The quesยญtions drove right to the heart of the matter:
- Why are you risking your life in order to help strangers in a difยญferยญent country?
- What brings you fulยญfillยญment? Doesnโt mateยญrยญial posยญsesยญsions and living a nice life give you fulยญfillยญment? Does helping others bring you fulfillment?
- Why are you helping people when their own govยญernยญment and their own people arenโt doing what you are doing?
- Will this war remain as is, or will it gain momenยญtum and become a major world war?
- Are people there afraid of you? Do they trust you? How do you gain their trust?
It was a very unique and eduยญcaยญtional opporยญtuยญnity for our stuยญdents, and for Brad in Ukraine as well.

On Thursยญday, 7 April 2022, we paid tribute to our founder, our friend and teacher, our mother, Rebecca Shourie. Many people came from across India and from overยญseas. Rebecca surely touched the hearts and lives of many people in her time on this earth. She lived with passion and grace and yet held on to this life lightly, holding on to only Godโs love with a tight grip.
Thank you to all our family, friends, stuยญdents, and Nagod citยญiยญzenry for attendยญing our tribute to Bade Maโam both in person and virยญtuยญally and remotely (via the internet).
May we all live for Godโs love and peace with each other, to create a solid comยญmuยญnity, a great town and country, full of citยญiยญzens of integrity and love, peace and kindness.
Love and serve one another.

Today is our Directorโs birthday!
(From our student ediยญtoยญrยญial team, repยญreยญsentยญing the larger student body)
Dear Bade Sir,
You are really a blessยญing from God to us. You have been a role-model and inspiยญraยญtion to us and the many thouยญsands of stuยญdents who have studied in your school since 1985.
You are a person who not only teaches from books, but also proยญvides us with life-lessons. You have shown us the imporยญtance of love, respect, honor, optiยญmism, and self-respect.
You show us the right aisle whenยญever we rove. You encourยญage us to do someยญthing meanยญingยญful with our lives. Your perยญsonal expeยญriยญences have also proยญvided us with a unique eduยญcaยญtional perspective.
Truly, you are a great source of knowledgeโฆand wisdom! Whatยญever we are is all because of you. Thank you for all that you are and everyยญthing you do.
We underยญstand that being a teacher is, was, and will never be an easy job. However, you have done even more by treatยญing us as a family and not just stuยญdents, and that is a very rare thing indeed. We are privยญiยญleged to have studied under you.
We are very thankยญful to you for serving our small town, giving us high quality eduยญcaยญtion, and helping us to be aware of the world.
We, the student body of 2021/2022, and espeยญcially the website ediยญtoยญrยญial team, wish you a very warm, prosยญperยญous, and healthy birthยญday and year ahead!
Sincerely.โฆ.your stuยญdents.
