2026-05-17 13:30 - 16:30 | Central Middle School West Chaska, 140 Engler Blvd, Chaska, MN, 55318, United States
A Day to Celebrate Our Young Graduates, Our Language, and Our Living Tradition
🎓 Celebrating Our Graduating Students
Graduation Day is more than a ceremony — it is a milestone that honors a child’s growth, effort, and identity. For our TCTP students, this day represents the completion of a meaningful journey in learning Tamil, understanding culture, and building confidence in who they are. The day marks a proud milestone for TCTP and for every family in our community. Our students — who spent years learning Tamil with dedication, curiosity, and joy — now step forward as graduates. Every student who walks across the stage has spent months — often years — learning, practicing, and staying committed. Graduation recognizes their hard work, discipline, and progress. When children receive certificates in front of their families and community, it strengthens their self‑belief. They feel proud of what they have accomplished, and that pride motivates them to continue learning. Graduation is not just about the final exam or the last class. It celebrates every step — the first Tamil letter they wrote, the first poem they recited, the first time they spoke confidently in Tamil.
Their achievement reflects:

Consistent effort throughout the school year
Respect for their teachers and heritage
The discipline to learn a classical language
The pride of carrying Tamil into the next generation

This day honors their hard work, growth, and cultural identity.
For our children, தமிழ் is more than a subject. It:

Strengthens emotional connection to family and roots
Builds confidence through cultural identity
Enables communication with grandparents and elders
Preserves a worldview shaped by compassion and community

When a child learns Tamil, they gain a lifelong anchor to who they are.
RSVP is Mandatary (Deadline 15th May, 2026).
