Hands up

A big thank you to our Purim parent helpers

With such a busy, fun-packed term for our kids filled with Jewish life and ruach, parent helpers and contributions are so appreciated and really help make these experiences possible. Much gratitude and a warm Emanuel thank you to: Naomi Rai, Lisa Greenberg, Jackie Radom, Angela Vitek, Natalie Likht, Stanya Sharota, Natalie Pager, Carla Hoffenberg and Paula Leibowitz for their help baking and dough-making for the Jewish Life team this Purim.

A special mention to our impromptu parent participants in the K-2 Purim Parade Play. Thanks for bringing the laughs and being such good sports! It was great to see so many parents share the joy of this festival by dressing up or donning an accessory. What a memorable morning!

Hands up – Pesach is around the corner

If you can spare an hour or more, there are so many opportunities to help with upcoming Pesach celebrations. Register your interest here, we need you!

Here are some ways you can get involved:

  • Setting up the festival venue
  • Assisting with food preparation and serving
  • Cleaning up and packing away equipment after the event.

More details around dates and times can be seen on the following link.

What food does your family enjoy?
Mitzvah Meals survey 

For many years the School has been providing meals to families who may need extra support (eg. just had a baby, suffering a loss, dealing with illness). Regardless of whether or not you have ever received a Mitzvah Meal in the past, please help us understand what would be helpful to your family should you ever need it. Complete the brief survey (it will only take two minutes)!

Tap on, tap off – you can do it! 

Please order your child’s free school bus Opal card here if you do not already have one. It is important that all students have an Opal card and tap on and tap off when travelling. This data will help us get more bus routes to families at Emanuel.
