We are looking for someone to host Glasser Preschool Teacher Appreciation Night in their home.  The event is scheduled for Thursday, May 16th.  We ask our GPS Families to sign up to bring food, drink, and paper goods - the host family is not responsible for providing that.  If you are interested in having this wonderful event in your home - please let Marci know ASAP.  Thank you in advance.

If you have already registered for Camp Bet Yeladim 2013 - you will receive a confirmation card with your summer class assignment next week.  If you would like your child to attend Camp Bet Yeladim, but have not yet registered - see Marci ASAP to make sure there is a spot for your child this summer. Final camp payment is due on May 1st.

Saturday, April 6th

Tot Shabbat 9 AM

Monthly we invite you and your family to join together for a special Shabbat service for our little ones.  It is designed to include simple prayers and songs appropriate for Shabbat and to share the spirit of being together.  This year we will be alternating between Friday evening and Saturday morning Shabbat Services.  Our April Tot Shabbat service will be held on Saturday, April 6th at 9AM.  Following the morning services we will have an Oneg in the Youth Lounge.  This is a time to have a snack and participate in quiet activities. The service and Oneg together will last about an hour.  We ask everyone who attends to bring a small nut free treat to share at the Oneg.

 

Sunday, April 7th

Yom Hashoah Service & Speaker 10:30 AM

Sunday Morning, April 7 at 10:30am we will be observing Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Memorial day at Oak Park Temple. We will have a brief service lighting our memorial candles and saying Kaddish and then we will hear from Holocaust refugee, Ruth Stern.  All students fifth grade and older will be invited to join with our community's adults to participate in this program.  There are not many years left that we will be able to learn directly from eyewitnesses to the events of the WWII so it is important that we hear from them first hand so we may become the witnesses.
