Dear Friends,
It is our Spring Festival on April 9th at 4:30 p.m. and we showcase the Vedic program. Another photo op day! April 9th is also the Vedic Social for our Senior class!

We sent a note to our Alumni for their news and many replied so please scroll down for it. We love to hear from them and will always keep them in our hearts. The very best to our young professionals!!

Click here for Bhasha Day photos! It was a proud moment to see so many little ones on one stage. Rakesh Bhargava's keynote speech on 'Culture & Confidence' was hopeful, inspiring and very timely. His contributions to our program, since its inception, has contributed immensely to our growth.  Shaunak Bakshi and Jai Sajnani spoke on behalf of all the graduating students, on the role of languages in their lives. Do share these thoughtful speeches with your families, especially the younger children.
Our Show video clips - Bhasha Day 1, Bhasha Day 2, Bhasha Day 3.

We love sharing the successes of our students so please send us links that give us news and we will communicate through this newsletter and on Facebook.

Best Wishes, 

 Rathi Raja (on fb)
