SCHOOL IS OUT FOR SUMMER!
One of the many repercussions of the current situation is the disappointment about the camp closures for this summer. I know many of our students were looking forward to camp experience!
Although, we cannot offer sleepover or group activities at this time we are offering the opportunity for our children to stay connected to each other and to Jewish activities.

Beth El Religious School would like to offer 2 options for your child during the summer.

1.        A fun Jewish Zoom Camp for your child. The camp will include crafts, themes, games, songs and more!! Different one week sessions will be offered.
2.        Zoom Hebrew classes. The sessions will be offered to improve your child’s confidence level with their ability to read Hebrew. This opportunity will be offered for students entering grades 4-7.

Please let me know if you are interested in enrolling your child in either or both programs and/or would like more information by Friday, May 15.

Stay safe and well!!
