Greetings Adat Reyim Families,
What is Coming Up?
- PURIM! PURIM! PURIM!
*Sunday March 13- All students (K-6th grade) are invited to a Purim Extravaganza! Come in your best costume and be ready for a morning full of Purim activities, a special spiel just for our students led by the actors of our congregational spiel, and we can't forget the Hamantashen! 10:00-11:30 AM.
Please help us fulfil the mitzvah of matanot l’evyonim, a commandment to give to those who are in need, this Purim. We will be collecting NEW, TRAVEL SIZE feminine hygiene products, tooth brushes and tooth paste, body soap, tissue packets, socks, and sunscreen to make homeless kits for our local homeless community on Sunday, the 13th. There will be a bin outside for drop off and pick up this Sunday. Please drop off before Friday, March 11!
*Wednesday, March 16- In lieu of classes and minyan, ALL families (K-7th) will be asked to attend our virtual children's Purim program and megillah reading. Wear your costumes and get ready to make noise! There will be a costume parade and contest with prizes! A special fly-in will be made by Super LefkoMan! Guests are welcome! A zoom link will be sent out next week. Begins at 5:30 PM.
- Please Help Us with the Carpool Pick-Up and Drop Off Procedures: Just a friendly reminder:
*Please pull all the way up to the corner of the driveway so that we can serve several cars at once.
*Please put a piece of paper with their children’s last name and grades in the windshield in big, bold letters, to avoid the need to roll down the windshield and make inquiries.
Please also don't forget to sign up for your minimum of three (3) Sundays throughout the school year to help with carpool pickup and drop off. We still have several families who have not signed up yet. We especially need more help in March! This will include checking that every parent has filled out their health questionnaire, managing traffic, etc. To fulfill your requirement, please sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/805094FAAAE2DA5FD0-adat
