Dear PJ Families,
Thank you to all who joined us for the recent Rick Recht concert; I hope everyone enjoyed the evening!
It feels like we might have finally received the warm weather of spring--and just in time for our upcoming visit to Wright's Dairy Farm, in honor of Shavout!
Click here for more information and let me know if you plan to join us. RSVP is required.
It is also time to make plans for the summer, and if you haven't already, I encourage you to check out our
J-Camp brochure for all the fun we have planned here at the Dwares JCC.
And it is never too early to think about September. We still have some spots available in the
Isenberg Family Early Childhood Center, but space is limited. If you are interested, we would be happy to set up a tour for you!
For those of you who are a part of PJ Our Way, don't forget that it is almost time to choose your next book. Be sure to log in to pjourway.org between May 1-10 to make your selection. Remember, if you are currently in PJ Library, you can join PJ Our Way when you are 8½ instead of waiting until your 9th birthday.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to
contact me
.
