End of School Year Reminders

Below are a couple quick reminders as we head into the last two days of school (I can't believe we are already here):

Kurukshetra Field Day
Thursday is our annual Kurukshetra Field Day. It is a fun-filled day of activities that all the students really enjoy. This is a free dress day (no uniforms). Students are encouraged to wear sneakers and clothing they can be active in. Lunch will be provided to all students (including half-day, who can be picked-up at 12:00). We are looking forward to a fun day.

EOY Ceremony
Bhaktivedanta Academy's end of year ceremony is on Friday at 8:30 a.m. The ceremony will be held in the Audarya Bhavan classroom and will conclude at 10:00 a.m.

This is a uniform day, so we ask that all students come looking their best. We will have a student art display, performances, and certificate presentations for our kindergarten, 3rd grade, and 6th grade students.

The 2012-2013 school year will officially end at the conclusion of the ceremony. There is no after care.

On behalf of the teachers and staff, thank you for entrusting us with the education of your children. We are looking forward to August when we will welcome everyone back, including our rising 7th graders! We wish you all a happy and safe summer.

Bhaktivedanta Academy Has Officially Become a Candidate IB World School

I am happy to report that we have been notified by International Baccalaureate that Bhaktivedanta Academy is now officially a candidate school for the Middle Years Programme. This is the first major step in our eventual authorization (accreditation) of the Krishna Sharanam 7th-10th grade program and is a notable event in our school's history.

We still have a long way to go and many things to accomplish but we are well on our way to becoming authorized as an IB World School!

Many thanks to Jaya Sri Radhe, our IB Coordinator, for tirelessly charging forward with the Krishna Sharanam program development and getting us to this point.
