Fw: Opening a Facebook Page for Muthu Keta Vessa

 

Dear Parents,

 

As per a committee decision taken at the committee meetings held on 23/9/2012 and 4/11/2012 respectively, a facebook page has been exclusively created for "Muthu Keta Vessa" concert presented by PSS. Though Faceboook has both pros and cons as one of the contemporary social media, "Muthu Keta Vessa" page is designed as a communication and promotional mechanism of the concert. If you have a personal facebook account already, please add "Muthu Keta Vessa" as a friend and share information about the concert among your friends. Thank you for the parents those who have already added the page as a friend. A screenshot is available below for you to have a glance.

No PSS Classes on the 25th due to Special Procession at Nun's Monastery

Dear Parents,

 

This is to formally remind that there will not be PSS classes on coming Sunday to accommodate Dhamma School's request to make the students participating for the Special Procession taking place at Dhammasara Monastery. Hope that will also provide a unique experience for our PSS students as that will let our kids conceptualize, learn and reflect on the concept "Perehara" which is a part of PSS course syllabi.

 

 

 

 

 

 Thank you.

The Details of 2012/2013 Academic Year Competitions and Practices for Muthu Keta Vessa

Dear Parents,

Please find the details of competitions and practices for muthu keta vessa concert given below.

Academic Year Competitions:
I have attached the details of annual competitions (class wise) to this e-mail. Please download the relevant sheet and assist your kids to participate if they are willing. These competitions are not compulsory and the students those who are willing can participate. However, the teachers appreciate their participation as it helps them to develop language skills, confidence and personality.

The class details are appended below for your convenience in downloading the relevant sheet.

Class 1A- Mrs Dilmi Jayatilake
Class 1B- Mrs Chamila Wijeratne
Class 2- Mrs Nirosha De Silva
Class 3- Mrs Anuradhi Pallewela
Class 4- Mrs Wasantha Wijewardene
Class 5- Mrs K A N Dilhani

Muthu Keta Vessa Concert Practices:
We commence practices for Muthu Keta Vessa concert on coming Sunday. Children of class 4 and 5 are required to stay for practices from 5.45pm to 6.30pm in the temple (this time is selected for your convenience as you will not have to bring them on a separate day during first few months of practices) . The practices will be done in the Old Awasa Buiding. The permission is taken from SLSBS for extra one hour practices.

We intend to start practices of Jaya Mangala Gatha, one of the dramas and a dancing item to pay respect to the god, teachers and parents on the first day. As this is going to be a ticket show, students will be selected by teachers and trainers for the items by assessing their talents and preference. The students who are only attending Dhamma School will also be in the items based on the willingness, talents and availability.

The practices for small kids will take place on the following week and will be informed about the time early next week.

Your assistance is much appreciated!

Thank you.
