We look forward to celebrating together with you tomorrow at our Chanukah Chagigah! As a reminder, our Gezah, Anaf and Gesher families will drop their children off at their classrooms and then head over to the Crystal Ballroom where your children will meet you. Then at 10:00AM, we invite the Shoresh families to join us as we all congregate together in the Fayer Ballroom for a Chanukah musical sing-a-long. The festivities will conclude in your child's classroom with Chanukah treats. School will end at approximately 11:00AM on this special day. A gentle reminder that there is no pasta lunch or after care tomorrow.
Reminder to please bring in your "How Does My Child Shine" candle if you haven't done so already, as well as gloves and mittens to decorate our Chaverim Chanukiah in the Upper Lobby, and to do a mitzvah. We are collecting new gloves and mittens from Dec. 16- Dec. 20. Feel free to go with your child during drop-off or pick-up to add your donated items to the chanukia. All of the donated items will be given to The Sharing Shelf. Thank you in advance for participating in this important and meaningful mitzvah!
