Religious School Happenings
A Message from Religious School Principal, Lois Tompkins 

Security!
Yesterday, we held a Lockdown Drill during Wednesday evening Religious School.  It was very educational: we found several "glitches" in our plans and will fix them.   That's why we have these drills!  After they are fixed, we will have another drill (probably in March). 

Safer Shabbaton program for kids!
Our middle school students (grades 6 & 7) will have a chance to learn from Dr Joel Hoffman, our Safer Shabbaton scholar-in-residence, on Sunday at 9:15.  If you have a child in one of these grades, please be extra sure to get them to school on time.  Parents are also invited to join us!  The program will be in the Social Hall. 
 
B'Shalom (with peace),
Lois
Learning Tidbit of the Week

Next Wednesday (3/1), Rabbi Matt Berkowitz will be visiting at 7:00 pm.  He will be showing a very short film called Barriers.  It is about an ethical dilemma at the Israeli border.  It will be followed be a great discussion.  This program is free and open to all adults and older teens.   I hope you'll join us!
