Dear Families, Our Govardhana Puja Celebration and Spirit Day Harvest Festival is around the corner and will take place on Friday, October 24th! The PTO has organized a fun-filled day for all students, culminating in the circumambulation of Govardhana Hill, prepared by our Madhurya Bhavan students. A Call for Offerings! Families are invited to bring sweet or savory preparations to offer to Govardhana Hill. Please bring these to the office at morning drop-off or no later than 10:00 a.m. on the day of the event. Costumes & Parade: Students are encouraged to dress as their favorite Vrindavana personalities or animals, or wear their standard school uniform. A costume parade will begin at 8:15 a.m., and parents are invited to stay and watch. Please also send a school uniform in case your child would like to change out of their costume. Lunch: A lunch of rice, dahl, potato pakoras, popcorn, and chickpea subji will be provided for all students, staff, and volunteers. You do not need to send lunch on this day, unless you feel your child needs an alternative. Please send a snack as usual. Govardhana Hill Circumambulation: Everyone is invited to join us on the main deck at 1:00 p.m. to circumambulate Govardhana Hill together, followed by the distribution of prasadam. Dismissal will be at 2:00 p.m. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the core PTO team—Saradiya, Raghu, Rowita, and Jahnava—for spearheading this celebration, and to all the volunteers and donors who are helping make this year’s event so special. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the school office. Yours in service, Bhaktivedanta AcademyEvent Details
