• We have qualified professionals who conduct Saturday Yoga and Sunday Karate classes to improve overall health and concentration powers of the children.
• We celebrate birthdays of the children at the end of each month. The children cut a huge cake in front of their friends and eat it in school along with potato chips.
• We provide Saturday morning snacks to the children to encourage them to come to school even on Saturday which is a half day. 
• We have organized Science Exhibition on National Science Day at the school premises. Our science teacher  helped them to conduct  various practical experiments. Senior children participated in the event with lot of enthusiasm. Students enjoyed a lot and their performance was appreciated. We distributed snacks after the event.
• Our regular volunteers conduct Elementary English writing and reading classes for all the children.
