•  Clothing they can be active in and don't mind getting stained.
•  Sneakers or other closed toe active shoes.
•  Another pair of footwear that can get wet (flip flops or water shoes are okay). 
•  A towel to dry off with and a change of clothes. 

All students (including Krishna Sharanam MYP) are dismissed at 2 p.m. Aftercare is available. We are looking forward to a fun day together!

End of Year Ceremony

Bhaktivedanta Academy's end of year ceremony is on Friday. We will have recitations, songs and certificate presentations for our kindergarten, 3rd grade, and 6th grade students.  

There will be two ceremonies: 

Bhakti Bhavan and Audarya Bhavan 

9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. in the Audarya Bhavan classroom

Madhurya Bhavan and Krishna Sharanam 

10:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. in the Audarya Bhavan classroom

All students need to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to their class ceremony start time. This is a uniform day, so we ask that all students come looking their very best – ironed uniforms (pants for male students) and nicely combed/brushed hair.

Students will be released to their parents at the conclusion of their class ceremonies. There is no aftercare.

On behalf of the teachers and staff, thank you for entrusting us with the education of your children and for another great year together. We are looking forward to August 15 when we will welcome everyone back. We wish you all a happy and safe summer.
