Dear SILC Students, Parents, Teachers and Volunteers:

Hope you are all getting ready for the holiday season.


[1] We had an overwhelming response from our students for the Diwali Quiz. Majority of the submissions were partially correct and there were 10 fully correct entries. Accordingly, a lottery was drawan on 12/18/10 to pick a winner from these 10 correct entries.

Meera and Sesh Miruru were picked as the lucky winners of the Barnes and Noble $10 Gift Card. Congratulations!
