I say this because we know you are holding up so much during these stressful days. Thank you for your ongoing encouragement of the children and support in our community. You are our partners. We continue to put a great deal of thought into our education programs and the health and safety of our children.
This Sunday, in celebration of Tu Bishevat (The Jewish New Year of the Trees), and given that it will be a relatively warmer New England day :) we will have our regular session including short rotations of kids outdoors. "There is no bad weather, only bad clothing!" Please have your child dress appropriately.
** We need two parents to help with security this Sunday morning - please let Rabbi Karen know if you are available. **
