We are excited for our third week of Noar coming up this Sunday. This week, we will begin to focus on the High Holy Days to give your children background before we reach Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur. While all of the children at Noar will explore Rosh HaShanah this week, their experiences will meet them where they are at developmentally and tap into the background information they have learned over the years. When your children get into the car after Noar, take the time to engage them in conversation about their experiences.
Remini is now up and running. Please make sure you are connected. Beginning this week, teachers will be able to send you a brief class recap and photos of the activities they were engaged in throughout their time with us.
Carpool last week ran very smoothly. Thank you for all following the procedures. We ask for your continuing patience as we get into the routine and train new madrichim on various positions. Please see below if you have additional questions about the carpool process.
We look forward to seeing you this week! Shanna
