Reduce Bag Weight

Heavy school bags are a serious threat to the health
and wellbeing of students.It has a severe adverse physical
effect on the growing children. To reduce the number of
books the children carry to school, we at SBSM, have come up
with an initiative whereby students would not need to carry
their text books to school. This will also help recycle text books.
Children will be requested to donate their old text books to the
school at the end of the academic year. This will be kept in the
class rooms and used during the next academic year.For
example, if a student of class VII in the academic year 2021-22,
donates her textbooks at the end of the academic year, her
text books would be kept in the VII grade classroom. The VII
grade students of the year 2022-23 would use her books in
school. While in school, they would use the textbooks donated
by their seniors. At home they would use their own text books.

Sports Academy

SBSM -- Sound Body, Sound Mind
SBSM sports academy was set up in 2022 to encourage
children to flourish in their chosen sport. Sports like
Chess, Volleyball, Kho-Kho, Table tennis and Shuttle
Badminton have been introduced. Experienced and
champion trainers coach the children after school.
Around 350 students, including tiny tots from the KG
section, benefit from chess coaching classes, where
magnetic demo boards are used to instruct children.
SBSM boasts of three new ping- pong tables, used by
around 80 students from classes III to VIII, trying to hone
their skills and make it big in the national level. Shuttle
Badminton, Volley Ball and Kho- Kho are the other
games taught at the sports academy.
Research shows that sports promote children's academic
outcomes and SBSM sports academy strives hard to live
up to their tag line " Sound Body, Sound Mind".
