Launch of Pick and Pay at CHSV on 23rd October

Siddarth PC, President of Interact Club says, “We, the members of the Interact Club of CHSV, are extremely happy to announce that the Pick and Pay Stationary Shop was successfully launched at our school today. The shop was inaugurated by our principal, Sumathi Acharya, during the lunch hour in the presence of the 11th and 12th grade students. Inquisitive students stayed behind after the launch to learn how the pick and pay system works and promised to share the news of the launch of the shop with their friends.

The shop is strategically situated at the library where many students head to during the snack and lunch hours. We are expecting business to pick up in the next few days and are confident that the Pick and Pay shop will be a success not only in terms of profits but also in inculcating the value of honesty amongst our students.”
