Sunday School (School Year 2025-2026)

📚 Sunday School Registration – September 7, 2025

A New School Year Begins at Our Parish

Dear Parishioners,
With God’s blessing, we joyfully announce the beginning of a new school year for our parish Sunday school.

📅 Registration Day: Sunday, September 7, 2025
🕙 Time: 10:00 a.m.
📍 Location: Church Hall

Registration forms are available in Serbian and English – please complete them in the language that is most convenient for you.

🧒 Age Groups and Teachers

This year we are organizing the school into three groups:

  • Ages 3–5
  • Ages 5–8
  • Ages 8 and up

Our dedicated teachers – Vlada, Zorica, and Aleksandra – will welcome you on Sunday, September 7, at 10 a.m. in the hall to collect completed registration forms or provide blank ones for completion.

Important:

  • Groups 2 and 3 (ages 5–8 and 8+) will begin classes immediately after registration.
  • Group 1 (ages 3–5) will begin classes on October 5, when their teacher, Protinica Sava, returns from Serbia.

🙏 a Sincere Request to Parents

Every year the school year begins with great enthusiasm – parents enroll their children, teachers prepare materials and lessons. However, after just a few weeks, absences and tardiness begin, which seriously affects the school’s operation.

Please consider the following:

  • Irregular attendance and tardiness disrupt instruction and work with the children.
  • When children do not come to class, prepared materials are wasted, and the teachers’ efforts are undermined.
  • Tardiness disrupts the flow of the lesson, as everything must be repeated for those who arrive late. This is not fair to the teachers or to the children who attend regularly.
  • At the end of each year, children receive diplomas and gifts for regular attendance. It is not appropriate to give the same recognition to those who attend sporadically.

If you are not certain that you will be able to bring your child regularly, please do not enroll them this year – there will be opportunities later.

Let us not forget: it is not up to the children, it is up to the parents.

💃 Registration for Folk Dance and Martial Arts Programs

In addition to Sunday school, on the same day we are also organizing:

  • Folk dance group registration: If you wish your children to participate, please register them on Sunday, September 7.
  • Martial arts classes: Our parishioner and martial arts grandmaster, Miloš Drakulić, has offered to lead training sessions for children in the church hall after the Divine Liturgy. Registration is also available on that day.

We look forward to a new, blessed school year in our community. Thank you for your trust, understanding, and support.

With blessings,
Fr. Milan and the Teachers
