Millennium Community

Anyone- anyplace will acknowledge the fact that our Mother- a blessing, a ray of hope in our life- is also our first teacher.

Our tiny tots from Millennium Pre-primary section took the opportunity to express their adoration for their Mothers and Gurus on the occasion of GuruPornima, on Friday 27^th July. In fact, the entire celebration revolved around the concept of the Guru in our Mother and the Mother in our Gurus…

Story-telling, the best form of education and entertainment was used as the tool to imbibe the values of obedience and kindness to all living beings. The kids were sure to relish the pictorial story of Little Lord Ganesh and his Mother Parvati, who taught him to be kind to all! –And as they held the self-made greeting cards to be carried home for their Mother with ‘Aai Maza Guru’, their warm smiles could but compete with the colorful flowers on the cards…
Tiny heads bent and little hands paid obeisance to the supreme most Gurus of all times- Lord Gurudev Datta, Vyas Rishi. Students from Nursery, Jr Kg and Sr Kg stood in front of the drawings of these Great Gurus with utmost reverence and took their blessings.

“Gurur Brahma, Gurur Vishnu, Gururdevo Maheshwara, Gurur Sakshat Parabrahma, Tasmai Shri Guruve Namaha” chanted the young voices as they taught others to love and learn with a devotion only possible to the purest of the pure hearts…

Welcome to the Wari at Millennium!!
‘GyanbaTukaram’ chanted the tiny Warkaris of Millennium as their saffron flags danced in the holy aura of ‘AshadhiEkadashi this season!

This traditional celebration on Dt. 23rd July began with the favourite session of Story-telling by the teachers followed by the groupwiseWari procession in which each standard had its own responsibility- the Sr Kg Children were in charge of the ‘Palkhi’, the Jr Kg Children held the holy flags with pride and the Nursery Children danced to the music!!

The tiny eyes shone as the little feet moved to the beats of the ‘Zhanz’ – while the other little hands bearing the (symbolic) ‘Paduka’ of Saint Dnyaneshwar and Tukaram, aware of the sweet holiness of their charge, bore the expression of utmost concentration and satisfaction while some others still danced with saffron flags and enjoyed the beats of the ‘Zhanz’& ‘Lezim’.

An Onlookers delight, this celebration with the beautiful backdrop of Lord Vitthal’s statue decorated by the teachers- was but a sight to behold and to contemplate on the divinity in these little Millennium Warkaris as they carried this holy legacy of Maharashtra into the times to come…

Guarding the Greens

Eco-Exchange at Millennium ‘Annarai’

Pune, 7th June:

Would you call this magic if instead of all the plastic trash- containers, bags, wrappers, someone would just wave the magic wand and conjure up velvety green little saplings?- Well, this ‘green magic’ and not just any magic, brimming with life and full of promise for all the nature lovers is here at Millennium- Annarai! –Here you can become the proud owners of little saplings of Brinjal, Basil, Odomos, Brahmi in exchange of unwanted plastic trash, every Saturday and Sunday of this month.

Known for its innovative approach, Millennium National School is promoting Environmental awareness and conservation through ‘Annarai’ run Exchange Program. The best part being that this program has put to use the ancient ways of the Barter System- deposit the plastic or even the fallen dried leaves from your garden…. take home the green friends!

An Environmental Expert and the Torchbearer of the Sustainable Development Movement, Hemal Patel heads the entire programme but not without the like-minded and able guidance of the Director, Millennium National School, Anvit Phatak.

It was with great joy that one of our visitors, the Reporter from Daily ‘Sakal’ witnessed people coming all the way from Primpri-Chinchwad to participate in this drive. He could not but notice their joy as they held the delicate saplings with great care and promised to take good care of the green friends.As the cool wind blows through the bristles of the shrubs and whispers the nature song as it passes through the green leaves in the vegetable beds, Annarai, with its diverse green wealth proves to be a welcome oasis for all!
