| Summary |
We heard the need and desire of the BHA community to return to an in-person, more-traditional Sunday school experience, and we are planning for it!
Our Masa school year will begin on Sunday, November 6 and we cannot wait!
Our Masa teachers are beginning to dive into our new curriculum and finding the best ways to keep our participants excited, engaged, and having fun. Our classes will be a combination of learning Jewish values, holidays, and Hebrew language. Of course, a healthy dose of music, movement, and fun will be intertwined often!
Registration opened on October 11 and will remain open until October 25. We ask that if you are considering enrolling your kiddos, please don't wait! The sooner we have our students enrolled, the sooner we can finalize internal details and logistics. If you have ANY questions at all, please be in touch with Celia, BHA Education Director.
And finally, if you are creative, enthusiastic, (musical a bonus) and love kids, please contact me at celia@beaconhebrewalliance.org about joining the Masa Teacher Team... we may have a place for you! :-)
