Upcoming:
*Dylan and Zachary will be the Shabbat helpers next Friday, 1/18.

*Ella's Important Person week is January 28 - February 1.

*Our Kindergarten production of Stone Soup is on January 24 (8:15-9:00).  Let us know if you'd like to help with costuming or make up that morning.

*On Monday morning, 9:00 - 9:20, our Kindergartners will march through the school with the Fairness signs they've created.  If you're around, feel free to assemble in the Sukkat Shalom so that you can cheer us on.  (MOST people will NOT be around, so we will send videos.)  

*On Thursday, 1/17, at 2:00, Rashi will celebrate the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., along with the MANY who joined him.  Kindergartners will kick off this program, carrying their signs into the auditorium and singing the first song.

*Messy Art Day had to be changed to this coming Thursday.  Thanks in advance for sending the Kindergartners in clothes that can get messy!

Thanks for all your support!


Shabbat Shalom,

- Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Liptz -
