As a reminder, there is no religious school for Kindergarten through Netzer so that teachers can have an opportunity to meet and do some professional learning together. Confirmation is in session and will be attending the high ropes course. You should have received information from your teacher. Please reach out if you have questions and if you can either drive to the course or pick up.
Last night the RSY (Religious School and Youth) Committee met and finalized plans for our Classroom Ambassador program. The purpose of this program is to identify one or two individuals at each grade that will support communication and building community within the classroom. If you are interested in being one of our Classroom Ambassadors, please reach out to me at dswartz@bethelhebrew.org. In terms of commitment, expect Classroom Ambassadors would expect to spend about 10-15 minutes per week (if that) on communication with families in their child’s classroom. There will be a brief informational session on November 12th at 10:30 for those interested in volunteering.
Have a wonderful fall weekend!
