Calling ALL ECC alumni and grandparents
Every year, the Moriah ECC PTO hosts an evening for Parents and Teachers to get together not only to deepen connections but to raise funds to enhance the environment and learning opportunities for the children in our care. In past years, the money raised has been used to build and enhance the 3 outdoor play spaces; subsidize meaningful professional development opportunities for the staff; and offset costs for community holiday celebrations. This past year, the money raised was used towards upgrades to the buildings safety and security measures which benefits not only the ECC but our entire Moriah Kehillah.
This year, we are asking for support from our larger Moriah community in our fundraising efforts so that we can fund upgrades to building security as well as other initiatives that will help maintain Moriah ECC's position as one of the premier Jewish early childhood centers in the country. If you are able to help,

Moriah has a loop system available for individuals using hearing aids, to improve communication access for our members and guests with hearing loss. To access this system, tell your audiologist or hearing instrument specialist that your synagogue is "looped" and ask if there is a t-coil in your hearing aid(s). Then make an appointment to have it activated. If your hearing aids do not have a t-coil, talk with him/her about alternate ways of accessing the loop.
