*ZOROASTRIAN STUDY CLASSES*
Dear Community Members,
We would like to welcome everyone to a new term of the Zoroastrian Studies
classes. We are very thankful for all the support and enthusiasm shown by
all the parents and children during the last year.
As we start the new term, we would like to give you a brief outline of some
of the exciting events that will take place. These activities may occur
after spending some time on religious studies or an entire morning dedicated
to it.
*1.* *A Drawing Competition:* A theme will be given to the children in
advance.
*2.* *A General Knowledge Quiz Competition:* This will encourage children to
form a habit of reading and retaining important information.
*3.* *Story Telling:* We will read short Persian stories to the children
from Firdausi’s Shahname to keep our children associated with our culture..
We would like to invite any and all youth who are interested in reading
stories to younger children to participate in this class.
*4.* *Cooking Classes:* This is to inculcate the importance of helping out
in the kitchen and being self-sufficient. We will teach them to prepare
sandwiches, salads and traditional dishes.
*5.* *Fitness Classes:* Let the kids know the importance of staying fit with
exercise and healthy eating. These sessions will include learning fun games
while including physical activity.
Registration will open on *Sunday, September 11th 2011,* at the ZSBC sports
day at Mahon Park . Registration Fees: $ 20. Alternatively you can register
