JM Life

I'm taking the easy way out today. I've just posted some pictures I have taken around JM School the past few weeks. Enjoy!

Republic Day: students looking serious as they line up for a brief Republic Day celebration in JM's courtyard.

The Republic Day singers: this group of Clas VIII girls (13-14 years old) sang the national anthem and the school's daily prayer as part of Republic Day celebrations. Their blue and purple uniforms mark them as India Scouts. The girl on the far right Khadeeja will also sometimes read headlines from the English-language paper The Hindu over the school's PA.

"Classroom technology", India style. Chalk and a chalkboard.

Scene from "PT time", or gym class. Boys love to play soccer (like kids in most parts of the world besides America) but volleyball seems to be the most popular sport. Most of the boys simply play without shoes.

Some Class X boys (15-16 years old) playing volleyball, gearing up for this week's JM School volleyball tournament.

Boys mugging for the camera.
