Prospective Family Open House Recap

Dear Families,

Thank you to everyone who joined us (personally and online) for the prospective family open house last night. It was great to get an opportunity to meet together and talk about the unique educational program Bhaktivedanta Academy offers.

Here are links to the presentation and handouts from the meeting:

• Bhaktivedanta Academy Overview
• Admissions Process
• Montessori 101 Excerpt

If you did not get an opportunity to attend the meeting, please take a little time to review these documents as they will give a general idea of what was discussed.

As we talked about yesterday, it is important to submit your application by March 19th. One of the criteria we utilize in selecting students for admission is the date of application, so don't delay, as we have a limited number of spaces available. You may apply online at www.bhaktivedantaacademy.org/admissions.

We also require all applicants to visit the school and observe in the classroom that serves the grade your child will be entering. Please schedule your observation soon, as spaces tend to fill up quickly. You can schedule by calling 386-462-2886.

Again, thank you for your interest in Bhaktivedanta Academy. We look forward to getting to know you and your child more throughout the admissions process. Don't hesitate to call or email me at anytime to answer any questions you may have. I can be reached at visvam@bhaktivedantaacademy.org or 386-462-2886.

Yours in service,

Visvambhara das
Director

All performers need to meet in the Madhurya Bhavan classroom dressed in their costume (they will bring it home the day before) no later then 4:15 p.m.

Holy Name Gathering Invitation

The time between Lord Nityananda's and Lord Chaitanya's appearance days is our annual japa marathon.  Each 1st - 6th grade student has a daily japa goal which they commit to chant during this period as an offering to Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.  To date our students have chanted close to 1000 rounds of japa together.

As a nice way to finish off this special offering, Shantipur, our upper elementary teacher, suggested that we host a Holy Name Gathering at the school, where students and parents can chant japa together.

We would like to extend an invitation to you and your child to join us for this special event on Thursday, March 8th (Gaura Purnima Day) from 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. in the Audarya Bhavan classroom.  We will have a japa circle and set the space for a focused attention on the holy name of the Lord.  

We look forward to seeing you!
