Greetings Adat Reyim Families,
It was wonderful to see the pictures of so many of you at our Passover family program on Wednesday evening. I hope you all learned a little bit more about the Passover seder and what each part really means. I was sorry to miss it and I want to thank everyone who sent their positive prayers and well wishes to my son Wesley on his surgery on Wednesday. We are home recovering and he is doing well so thank you again to everyone!
As a reminder, beginning April 24th, masking will be optional but encouraged for all outdoor religious school programs, including break. Parents may also begin to send a snack to school on Sundays for students to eat outside only while on their break.
Please remember that we do not have school the following days this month:
Sunday, April 17- NO SCHOOL (Passover)
Wednesday, April 20- NO SCHOOL (Passover)
