Greenwood Group of Schools @ Gopalpur, Hanmakonda :
Greenwood leaves no occasion to reinforce its mission of educating parents and students on a healthy diet.
We observed “Yummy Tummy Nutritional week ” from 7th to 12th November 2022.
A fruit/ vegetable diet chart and its nutritional values was shared with students and parents. Teachers ensured that students followed the same throughout the week.
We wholeheartedly thank our parents for supporting us in bringing awareness towards the importance of healthy food for students’ physical and mental health.
On the occasion of ‘Garden Party’ as it is ‘Karthika Masam’ Abhyaas the global school came up with an innovative idea.
Children across the grades were informed that their lunch boxes would not be relished by them as usual, but by their lucky schoolmates as the lunch boxes would be distributed randomly to the children. It also meant that they too would be eating lip-smacking food prepared by somebody else’s loving mother. This thought drove the children to get their favourite food prepared by their mothers.
The children in a festive mood fed food to each other and to their favorite teachers sitting on lush green meadows and under shady trees.
Next, they rocked the ground by shaking a leg to their favorite songs. Both dancers and spectators enjoyed themselves thoroughly. At one point, a sudden, invigorating breeze dispersed leaves from nearby trees on the dancers and spectators so much that students were commenting that nature too was enjoying itself. But the fun didn’t end there because the sprawling grounds were inviting the children to play games of their choice, with friends of their choice irrespective of age or gender.
The hidden motive behind organizing this Pot Luck Lunch was to encourage and inculcate positive habits of sharing and caring for their fellow beings, crossing man-made barriers of religion, caste, gender, age and status. The facial expressions and undiluted joy gave evidence to the fact that the “Pot Luck Lunch” was a grand success with a great motive.
World Kindness Day was celebrated in Greenwood High School Mancherial branch.. From school side instructions have been given to students to help any needy or poor people.. Many of the students have helped poor people and brought photos.
Addressing the children, Principal Ayub, Neeta Ma’am and Kanti Ma’am said that this program is being organized to develop the spirit of helping nature in children. Greenwood Group of Schools Chairman Dr. Bharadwaj Naidu congratulated the children..
Today being Monday, we had a special Prayer Meeting (Assembly) in our school campus. As usual our beloved Director, Sri. Dr. G.

These two children exhibited confidence beyond their age and paved a road for others to follow.

Helping Hands are the Best
Mother Teresa said, “Helping Hands are Better than the Praying Lips.” It is easy to notice everyday many a student coming forward to take initiative and help the other students and management in carrying out all activities in the school .

It lets children’s imagination run wild!
