Sunday School Mission
To provide education to the children related to the Punjabi language, and spiritual, moral, and cultural traditions of the Sikh religion. The educational curriculum will enable the students to read, write and speak Punjabi. In addition, this program will teach them the Sikh religion, its ethics, history and way of life.
About Sunday School:At present, there are 320 students attending 7 different levels of education. The 7 levels are split into 17 different classes. The students are assigned to a specific class depending on their age and knowledge of Punjabi language and culture.
Every year, Sunday School is held from August through May. The classes are held every Sunday from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon. There are about 50 volunteer teachers and teacher’s assistants, who are helping in running the Sunday School. The students are taught music on Sunday afternoons from 12:30 pm to 3:30 pm. They learn to play harmonium, tabla and string instruments, such as sitar, rabab and dilruba.
In addition, summer school is continued from June through August.
Sunday School – An Historical Perspective: The Sunday School, consisting of only five students was started in 1985. The class used to be held under a tree behind the Gurdwara. Since a humble start, the Sunday School has flourished with leaps and bounds. Many students have learnt to read, write and speak Punjabi from this school. A number of former students are now teaching Sunday School classes.
