Hello Everyone,

We can’t believe it’s already the end of Week 8.

We haven’t had much to write about lately, as most of our involvement is currently on hold, so we thought we would use this time to explain a bit about the P&F at Emanuel.

The role of the P&F is to create a strong connection between the School and Emanuel families. Our focus is on “Friendraising”: fostering a strong sense of community.

That being said, all of our events are fundraisers so we do hope to make money, all of which goes to that year’s P&F Fundraising initiative.

We know how busy everyone is but there are many different ways to participate. There are events throughout the year and we put out a callout before all of those looking for helpers.

We also have a P&F meeting in the School boardroom (although it’s currently on Zoom) at 7.00 pm on the first Tuesday of every month and everyone is welcome. To join, please contact us at rubykb@gmail.com – we’d love to see you.

There are a number of P&F events throughout the year (Purim disco, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, camping trips and a Major Event/Fundraiser, as well as weekly challah distribution and Friday Chill Out.

There is an annual fundraising target that we are raising money to put towards: last year it was a new play area for the students in Years 1 – 4 that will hopefully be installed later this year.

We can’t wait to be back in action and see you around.

Entertainment Books

Entertainment Books have gone completely digital. Order yours here. There are so many benefits for you and the P&F receives a commission for each book sold that goes towards our fundraising.

Enjoy the weekend,

Ruby and Jen
