Its that time of the year again! Next fall Bal Shiksha will grow with the needs of the community. We have come up with classes that are more age specific and with a more organized curriculum inspired by the Balvihar classes of the Chinmaya Mission. Bal Shiksha classes will resume on September 12th 2004, Suggested donation for Bal Shiksha I, II, and III to cover for craft supplies and other miscellaneous expenses is $25/child/year and $20 for each additional child from the same family.
