Religious School Parent Bulletin January 25, 2013
I hope to see you at the K-2 Shabbat Service and Dinner tonight. It will be a fun-filled time!
Each grade in Religious School will be collecting tzedakah through the end of the year to go towards purchasing part of the newly-commissioned Anshei Israel Torah. We hope that you will join in this important mitzvah (commandment).
Thank you to the Jewish Federation of Southern Arizona for our annual Religious School student subsidy to help pay for consumable materials for our students.
There are no classroom recaps this week due to the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. Recaps will resume next week.
