Balavihar Classes Resume (2010-2011)
Aug. 2010
Over the weekend of Aug. 28/29 2010, the D/FW chapters of Chinmaya Mission opened its doors to an excited group of over 900 children. Many Chinmaya sevaks put in countless hours to get ready for Balavihar reopening to ensure that kids have the most positive Balavihar learning experience. Over the summer of 2010, we successfully implemented a new online registration system. Our resident acharya Br. Uddhav Chaitanya conducted grade-specific teacher training sessions for 150+ teachers to communicate the vision, mission and goals of Balavihar for each grade. Teachers are now better equipped to meet the challenges of imparting the teachings of Hindu culture to the next generation. Kudos to the groups of volunteers who assembled the CM D/FW Handbook 2010 and delivered classroom supplies so that children had them ready on their first day at Balavihar. The sevaks from the Publication team are also ready at the bookstore where you can purchase books specific to each grade-level. Be sure to browse through our collection for other Chinmaya publications too. Amidst all this, don’t forget to join the fun for the Labor Day Camp 2010!
The unprecedented growth in Balavihar enrollment came a few changes. Balavihar sessions will be conducted for the first time in our own property in Irving which Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayananda named as Chinmaya Chitrakoot; and classes will also continue at Chinmaya Saaket, our facility in Dallas metroplex.
