It is so hard to believe that the end of the school year is quickly approaching. We have a few important things to share with you below:
1. The end of year celebrations for each class will be next Wednesday, June 5, the last day of school. Please find details for each age group's celebration below:
Shoresh Classes - 10:30AM - 11:45AM Gezah Classes - 9:15AM - 10:45AM Anaf Classes - 1:00PM - 2:30PM Please note there will not be any after care that day and if you have not heard more specifics from your child's teachers yet, you will be very shortly.
2. Please submit your child's enrollment for Mini Camp along with payment in the form of a check by this Friday, May 31. Mini Camp will be offered for the weeks between the end of school and the beginning of Beth El Day Camp. Additional details may be found on the flyer below. Please fill out the registration form on the back of the flyer and return it to your child's teachers with a check made payable to Beth El Nursery School. Feel free to reach out to us with any questions.
3. Our Tile Wall is up! Please be sure to stop by with your children to locate their handprint on the wall across from Room #4.
4. Phase II of our Playground Renovation on Gan Teva is now complete, and Phase II has begun on Playground 2. The children are thoroughly enjoying playing on the new equipment! Photos have been included below.
5. Today was our Shinshin, Maya's last day with our Gezah and Anaf classes. She presented each child with a magnetic photo that you can hopefully hang in a prominent spot to maintain the wonderful connection that Maya fostered with the children. She also gave them a keychain to hang on their backpacks. This was an especially meaningful year to have a representative from Israel in our Nursery School with whom we could all connect. We wish Maya the best of luck and only good health as she begins her army service in Israel this December.
6. Interested in learning more about Beth El Religious School? There will be a little table set up outside of Havdallah next Monday, June 3, where you can speak with Nursery School parent Brenda Corwin and Director of Youth and Family Engagement Alyssa Berman. Additionally, there will be a Taste of Religious School on Sunday, June 9 from 9:00AM - 10:00AM.Please RSVP to aberman@bethelnr.org.
7. Beth El is a founding member of ICNAW (Interfaith Council of New Americans of Westchester), a resettlement organization for new refugees and immigrants to the US. ICNAW helps refugees in many ways: driving to medical appointments, driving to nursery school, setting up and furnishing apartments, gathering clothing and toys, helping with English lessons, integrating new families with our own, and taking families to local happenings.
We invite you to participate in an easy, but crucial way. Two cute little boys were recently born, healthy, with their parents no longer fearing for their lives in Afghanistan. But they need diapers, sizes 1 and 2. Please support this diaper drive by dropping off diapers in the box in the lobby. And if you are interested in helping in other ways, please contact Joyce Wechsler (914) 629-8731 or Susan Wolman (914) 980-5050.
8. We are continuing our fundraising through Mabel's Labels. With every order we will earn 20% commission for our school. If you are not familiar with Mabel's Labels, they offer personalized waterproof name labels for your children's items. This is the perfect time to get your orders in before camp and the new school year. Visit campaigns.mabelslabels.com and choose Beth El Nursery School (New Rochelle) from the organization list. Click here to order.
Enjoy the rest of this beautiful day and we look forward to seeing you all next week, Ronnie and Shery
