Thoughts from our Youth Education Director: Lawrence Simmons
Happy April to our Temple Youth Ed families!
The vernal equinox has passes and Spring is here with Palm Sunday and Easter kicking things off this month. Trees are exploding in blossoms, tulips blooming and baby chicks are hatching right in our Temple hallway, thanks to a Montessori school project. This is the time of year we celebrate and reflect on the idea of eternal life, expressed in the perennial plants and in the Easter story of how death is not the end; we are, in fact, eternal expressions of Source Energy. Coinciding with Palm Sunday is Art Sunday, our second monthly art event, where anyone is welcome to just show up and be creative with visual media. Much more goodness is happening with our Youth & Family Ministry here at the Temple - come join us! And read on for more April goings-on ...
Love and Light, Lawrence

Youth Meditation Retreat
Saturday, June 16, 10am - 4pm
We are hosting a day long retreat FOR KIDS, Saturday, April 28th from 10am to 4pm in Classroom D. This time we will have two groups! One group will be the younger ones and one group will be the teens!
Parents, we appreciate your consideration with our retreat. We are ready with four leaders and a ton of fun with our meditation. We would love it if you attended Janet's adult meditation. However, if you want or need a day to yourself, please let your child come to meditation with the other children. It is a great day for us to spoil your child in a way that only occurs with thoughtfulness around meditation.
It is a day to celebrate your child, and his/her practice of mindfulness. If they are beginning, it is an excellent space to form an alliance with them through silence, games, movement and art.
For more information, visit www.calm-kids.org or contact Peggy Mulvihill at Peggy@templebuddhistcenter.org.

Youth Registration Drive
During the past month, we collected 72 new and updated Youth Family Registration forms. Thank you to everyone who helped make our registration drive a success! If you have not had a chance to update our records, please pick up a registration form in your child's classroom or at the Youth Welcome Desk.
On Sunday mornings, all students with current registration forms will be listed on our Sign-In sheet. Just sign your name next to your child's name and you'll be on your way. If your child's name is not listed on the Sunday School Sign-In sheet, please fill out the requested information and complete an updated registration form. Thanks for your help keeping our records current!
