Thank you to the following people for agreeing to be room parents this year – and to Debbie Chase, our Room Parent Chair from YAEC. You’ll hear from these individuals throughout the year – they’ll remind you about Parent Breakfasts and help coordinate some special classroom activities and events. Say “yes” when they ask for your help – and thank them for all they are doing while you are at it! Brandi Fisher (Pre-Kindergarten), Miccole Bowen (Kindergarten), Stephanie Maker (1st Grade), Heather Kort (2nd Grade), Alexis Schwartz (3rd Grade), Kerry Miller (4th Grade), Jennifer Levinson (5th Grade/Intfen), Linda Stark (5th Grade/Nielsenshultz), Debbie Chase (6th Grade).
YAEC Mitzvah
Menorah
The YAEC is again sponsoring a Mitzvah Menorah. Hanukkah is a often a time for
gift giving, but many families also use this holiday to teach the importance of
tzedakah and social responsibility. Beginning on December 2nd, the
committee hopes families will consider choosing a “dreidel” or
“Magen David” printed with a gift suggestion from the menorah and
shopping for a small gift for the residents of the reStart Shelter. A
collection box will be located under the Mitzvah Menorah near the office area.
Beth Torah volunteers who will be serving meals at reStart in January will
deliver these items.
