Letters+to+Parents

Every week we will post a letter that will help you learn more about all of the fun activities we do in school, as well as help you reinforce Jewish learning at home .

 Dear Parents,

We hope that you share our excitement about Chaverim and that you will enjoy the journey upon which we are about to embark together. On the first day of school your children will meet their teachers and the teen Machoniks (teaching assisstants), and be introduced to Chaverim. They will learn the Chaverim theme song and be given a Chaverim visor complete with logo. They will also have the opportunity to decorate recyclable bags to bring home and fill with kosher canned goods. These cans will be brought to the synagogue on Sukkot and donated to the ARK Food Pantry as part of our ongoing Partners in Mitzvah project to help combat hunger in the Chicago area. They will have a chance to sing with Leslie, our music teacher, and to eat apples and honey as they learn about Rosh Hashannah. It will be a busy day! When you pick up your children, don't forget to join us on the front lawn for the Chai @ NSCI picnic!

Please remember to check back on this page after the first day of school to see pictures from the first day and to hear more about what to expect in the coming weeks!

Happy New Year! The Chaverim Staff
