The Balavihar reopened on the 12th April after a couple weeks' spring break. We had a long assembly which featured the second graders class presentation and the tiny mouths recited the long and melodious Hanuman Chalisa so very beautifully.

Followed by the High school seniors gave a small talk about the upcoming Movie "On a quest" based on our Guru Ji's life. The premier is scheduled on the 25th at Morristown AMC and there are 2 back to back shows, preceding to it is a launch at 2PM.

After the assembly, we got to our classes and Rajesh uncle led the class with OM chant and later with our Ganesha slokam, prayed to Parvathy mata with Parvathy slokam to get energy. The kids all did a great job in chanting. We did a little yoga to break out the routine. There was a surprise interaction between the seniors and the toddlers about the Film to be premiered on Guru JI. It was so nice to see their cute conversations between the first timers to Balavihar and the out going grads from balavihar. We went back to chanting slokam and chanted Saraswathy slokam and Guru slokam. 

A potty break followed by snacks and then to the next everyone's favorite coloring activity. We also recollected the story of how Ganga appeared on Lord Shiva. After which we concluded with the closing verses.

Reminders- a water bottle (weather getting better, so please do not miss bringing in water bottles)
