1. Kumararani Meena Muthiah Mat Hr Sec School
No. 4, Crescent Avenue Road, Gandhi Nagar, Adyar, Chennai 600 020

2. To get students more involved with the
school by creating new opportunities that
they can identify and relate with.

3.  Brainstorming
 A gush of ideas
 A inter-school football match, an intra-school
culturals, car pooling?????
 All were at loggerheads
 How do we make any of this work????

4.  We put each of our ideas on paper to check
how implementable it is.
 But hey….Can’t we start small???
 We finally found our Inner Peace and as
Master Oogway states in Kung Fu Panda
“There are NO accidents”.
 So what is it that we started small????

5.  Shouldn't change begin within???
 Thus, began our quest
 Our own fellow students were our targets
 What is it that we wanted to add to ourselves
apart from marks?
 Fun and creativity…..
 The ones that don’t hamper our studies 

6.  We wanted our own activity clubs
 Communication, Literary, Health, Art &
Culture….
 Could we not revive something that’s
dying????
 The spirit of the book rose and spoke to us:
“Imbibe me in you and you will see a change”

7.  How many of us read anymore? Lets do a survey…
 And sadly, the results weren’t too pleasing.
But, nothing to deter us from the mission.
 We rampaged the library, hassled the
librarian, spoke to our principal and gained their
support to start Our very own Book Club.
 We initiated the book club through a formal
ceremony with only our staff members and
we, the core members.

8.  We then set out to find students who would be
interested to join the club.
 We put out charts and ads for a book review
competition…
 Teasers were put up on notice boards that made
students keep guessing as to what this is all
about? Yes, until now, the book club is a tightly
guarded secret.

9.  We had around 40 entries coming in and the
good ones were shortlisted
 The ones that did not make it will be paired
up with the shortlisted students
 This we hope will encourage them to read
more

11. As Mary Kay Ash once said:
“Enthusiasm is contagious. You can start an
epidemic.”
With this experience, we aim to start other
clubs to address other areas of interest
