The
Parents’ Council is the link between the parents of The Early School of
Temple B’nai Abraham, The Early School staff, other Temple groups,
administrators, and personnel. Our goal is to enhance the early
childhood educational experience for our children. Through its
fundraising efforts, the Parents’ Council provides special religious,
educational, and cultural programs, in addition to the donation of
equipment to The Early School.
Our biggest fundraiser, the
Annual
Marketplace, Book Fair and Bake Sale, will be Thursday,
November 18, 2010. There was a Book Fair Party on Wednesday,
November 17, 2010. Both events were a great success! What wonderful opportunities to show support for the
Early School and shop for holiday gifts at the same time! Thank you to
all who participated.
We encourage all parents
to participate in helping to make this year a success. Please contact us
if you have any new ideas or if you would like to volunteer on one of
our committees.
