Looking back, it's been a fun filled month for KCT Youth! We have davened, played parsha games,counted the omer, answered Torah Trivia, scored some hoops and ate some awesome snacks (including airheads of course!) in groups. We have moved into our new space 4022 and have really made it our own! KCT Youth is looking forward to awesome shavuot and end of the year programming and look forward to your participation and enhancement of our programs. If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions, please feel free to email us at Youth@skokieshul.org. We look forward to your feedback and as always, Torah fun... KCT style!
Please be considerate and do not send any child that is sick or not feeling well to the groups.
To ensure the safety of our children during shul, it is shul policy that children up to 5th grade must be in shul with a parent or in their appropriate class. Children not in class are the sole responsibility of their parents. It is our expectation that parents ensure their children are supervised and behaving with decorum due a shul. Children up to 5th grade may not play by themselves in shul or on the shul grounds which includes our parking lot, front and rear halls.
