Today in the 9th grade Balavihar class we talked about the Penny Drive.  The class goal is to bring 25 dollars per person.  Not cents.  DOLLARS!!!  That will bring a total of, if I did the math correctly, $875.00.  This money is going to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.  The money is enough to fix a broken bone.  The feeling that you just saved a child is just unbelievable. So let's share and help.

The class brainstormed ideas for the annual day in May. After much discussion the ideas have been narrowed down and we hope to work as a team and put in our best effort for a fabulous show!

We all played the fun game Jeopardy today as well. Categories included "SELFIE","BH-AT-LE",DHARMA,GURU,RX, CAST-->WAY GUNAS.The entire class was screaming out with joy (not really 'screaming').  Everyone had fun and the teams really know how to work together.  The teachers also had a lot of fun. The teachers hope that we remember what we have learnt !

Also a group of students from NYU came and observed our Balavihar class to get an idea of how the Chinmaya System actually works.  They also seemed like they were enjoying themselves.  It was another beautiful day at Chinmaya Balavihar.
