Shul School need-to-knows

May 7 - May 14, 2020

Dear Shul School families,

Happy Mothers' Day!

We have regular programming this week, including on Sunday (see details below). It will be our last day of "regular" Shul School filled with review games and the like. We'd love to see you there, but we also understand if you're taking the day to celebrate the moms :)

Mark your calendars for our moving up ceremony next Sunday, May 17, 10-11am. It will be our first, and we sincerely hope only, Zoom-style end-of-the-year celebration. I'll be sending out emails to each class over the coming week to share some materials that we're hoping you'll be able to print out for the ceremony.

Lastly, we've gotten a good number takers on making cards for older folks in the community. There are six more folks who would really love to get cards! Any takers? Send me an email if your family is interested in participating (and if you're curious for more details, see "The Closest Thing to a Hug" below). All ages welcome!

The closest thing to a hug

What's the longest you've ever gone without getting a hug, a pat on the back or a kiss on the forehead? Those little gestures of care can bring a big smile to our faces! Many older people are home alone these days, and they don't get so many hugs and kisses. So let's do the next best thing -- send them a smile in an envelope!

Rabbi Silver and Ms. Jennie have put together a list of older folks in our Shir Chadash community who would love to receive a card from you! Here's what you do:

1) Email Ms. Jennie saying you'd like to be paired up with an elder buddy. She'll send you back someone's name and address. If you have a request of someone in the community, please specify the name in the email and we'll do our best.

2) Create a card with something that you think would make someone smile -- maybe you write a joke on it, or a poem, or draw a picture. Here are some great ideas for creative greeting cards.

3) When it's done, take a photo of it and send it to Ms. Jennie. Then put your card in the mail and make someone smile!
