Nagpur: Alumni Reunions are so much fun and full of excitement that everyone who participates always remembers it and always waits for the next one, however now there is “No waiting Period” for the Alumni meet of the SFS High School Sadar Nagpur. Now adding a glorious leaf to their consistent journey OBA has gained more pride after they were recently assigned an office space in the school premises. The SFS school has always basked in the glory of its past, thanks to its alumni who often cherish the good old memories from the school days. The old boys of SFS kept a soft corner about their alma mater and to cherish the cause SFS Old Boys Association was formed about 14 years back. SFS School Old Boys Association Nagpur is the first official alumni of the city registered under the charity commissioner office.
