Religious School Happenings
A Message from Religious School Principal, Lois Tompkins 
Yesterday was great Passover fun!  Our 2nd through 6th graders enjoyed Rabbi Tilman's model seder, and our 7th graders had a chance to be creative at "Doing Dishes" Pottery Studio, where they met to make dishes for Passover.
     

On Sunday, p arents of Kindergarten and 1st graders are invited to join us as we enjoy a model seder of our own!  This will be a short, age-appropriate seder, beginning at 10:30 am.  Please drop your students off at 9:00 so that they can prepare, and come back to join us at 10:30.   You'll also receive a few other surprises.  I am asking for RSVPs so that I know we will have enough room and goodies.  Please let us know that you are or are not attending.

Chag Sameach!
