Tepuach v d'vash (apples and honey), L'Shana Tova, say-
ing I'm sorry, throwing away our sins, visiting the Sanc-
tuary, decorating the sukkah, lulav and etrog ask our
Preschool children what this is all about and you will hear
how much fun it is to celebrate the holidays at the JCC
Preschool. The children are busy building sukkahs, design-
ing flags and marching for Simchat Torah, adorning
Torahs, creating lulav puppets, enjoying holiday flannel
board stories and learning new songs. How could such little
ones be doing so much? We have the greatest staff and the
most wonderful children that's how!
I am pleased to announce a new class being offered at the
North Branch location. This mom and tot class, called
"Toddler Time," incorporates free play (blocks, toys,
manipulatives and a housekeeping corner), songs and
flngerplays, storytime, snacktime and gross motor ac-
tivities. These one hour sessions will meet on Tuesdays and
Thursdays (see the ad in the Centerpiece for ages, time and
fee details). This class will meet the needs of the children as
they grow and develop throughout the year. Come join the
fun and share special time with your child.
We are presently working on a Parent Education series
to be presented by Suzanne Persons. Please respond to the
article Parent-Education Program (in the Centerpiece) if
you have not done so already. We are excited to have
Suzanne speak with us again this year.
Bumper stickers have arrived! What a great way to show
off our new logo and to show how proud we are of our
Preschool. Pick one up at the North or Main Branch office.
The four-year-olds are going to Dr. Seuss! The Tampa
Museum of Art is presenting "Dr. Seuss From Then to
Now" and our four-year-old from both branches will have
the opportunity to enjoy The Cat in the Hat, The Grinch,
Horton and many other familiar characters created by Dr.
Seuss. The exhibit runs from Sept. 20 to Nov. 8. Plan a day
out for your whole family to experience.
Our first newsletter of the year is off the presses and in
our Preschoolers' homes. Many thanks to Marcia Sussman,
our publicity chairperson, and her committee for our
wonderful, informative first issue. We are looking forward
to many more.
The Parents' Association met on Wednesday, Sept. 30, at
9:30 a.m. at the Main Branch. We had a tremendous tur-
nout and the Association is working hard on many exciting,
new programs and fundraisers for our Preschool. We will
be having our first open Parent Association meeting on
Nov. 10 at 7:30 p.m. at the North Branch. Your support is
essential and we'd love to see you there! Stop by and visit
our Preschool if you have a chance. I am always available to
talk to you to hear what's important to you.
