End of School Year Message

Dear Families,

Today marks the official last day of the 2019-20 school year. This will certainly go down as one of the most unique and interesting years in the history of Bhaktivedanta Academy. 

I don’t think anyone could have imagined that we would all be home for the last two and a half months. I am so impressed with how our teachers, students, and families have handled this unprecedented event. The collective flexibility, commitment, and perseverance through all of this have been incredible to witness. Thank you for all you have done to support your children through our schooling at home period. 

It was so gratifying to close out the year with a series of mini-ceremonies for all our graduating kindergarten, 3rd, and 6th graders. Although different than our usual end of year ceremonies, we were able to individually honor each student and celebrate their accomplishment in a heartfelt and safe way. 

Our experience with these events gives us confidence that we can hold an in-person 10th-grade graduation on June 12. An RSVP form and event details will go out shortly to the families of our graduates. 

We are planning and preparing for the resumption of on-campus schooling in August. We have all missed the daily bustle of the school day and look forward to seeing everyone back on campus soon. In the meantime, I pray that all our families remain healthy throughout the summer. 

Wishing you all the very best.

Yours in service, 

Visvambhara Dasa
