It was so great to see many of you and your children as I was making my Chanukah deliveries yesturday. If you haven't received yours yet don't worry - you will! I made it almost to every home but I didn't get to Alexandria or Falls Church I will be delivering those on Saturday! One little glitch was that Amazon had a delay in half of one of my purchases. Some of the students received a glow in the dark bracelet and some did not. I will also be delivering those when they arrive, so every religious school student will eventually get one!
It was also great to see some of the students last night at our first candle lighting! There is a lot of information I want to share with you so I am going to put everything in bullet points below so nothing is missed!
