Golden Temple, Amritsar, India

Golden temple is a famous religious place in India, which is located in the center of the Amritsar city. It is also known as Harmandir sahib.

Through the Eyes of an Educator: Celebrate your Milestones

Nuggets of goodness like the summer solstice, the half-way point of the year, and the end of the typical school year juxtapose the anxiety of what comes from that aforementioned half-way point and ending of the typical school year.
