Your J is Now Open... Inside, Outside, Online!
I did make it to the pool for the first swim for me in 6 months. It felt wonderful and seemed like you all have thought out many fine points of keeping distance etc. Not sure how we will manage to exit in wet suits come November, but we are figuring out so many things...
Thanks for all your hard work and to all JCC staff.

Kids Space All Day
The J has officially completed the first two weeks of Kids Space All Day, a safe, supervised setting for students in grades K-5 who can attend virtual classes at the J as their schools operate remotely this fall/winter.

"We have amazing staff who help the children with school work, offer creative activities, and encourage outdoor play," says Maureen Marchacos, Director of the Kids Space All Day program. "Children enjoying themselves, laughter and positive reinforcement are heard from the classrooms throughout the day. Each classroom is warm and welcoming, and displays colorful pictures on the wall. I am grateful we are able to offer a safe, child-friendly program during this time."

Additional spots are available.Click the Kids Space All Day button below for details.
