Dear Parents,

As part of our fundraising program, The Hebrew Academy would like for our parent body to participate, if interested, in the following two programs.

1. Target has launched a campaign where they give money to schools that are voted for. http://givewith.target.com/school/117413?voted=1&ts=1377018268002
2. Shoparoo has an app where parents can take pictures of their receipts and the school gets money for each purchase. http://www.shoparoo.com/schools.html

Wishing you a wonderful new school year and looking forward to seeing you in September.

Dear Parents,

We have some very exciting events happening at The Hebrew Academy, which have been sponsored by our PTA, and we want to make sure nobody misses out on the opportunity to participate.  Here is a list of the fun activities  and the sign up dates:

Challah Fundraiser:

Starting on Friday, February 17^th, your child can bring home challah for your Shabbos table from Zaddie’s Bakery.  If you are interested, please complete the attached form. The sign up deadline is Friday, February 10^th so that we can start placing orders.  Zaddie’s challahs are also sold at Wesley Kosher, if you would like the opportunity to sample them. See attached flyer for details.

PTA Family Dinner:

On Sunday, February 26^th, a delicious dinner will be served in the Shul of The Hebrew Academy, and fun entertainment will be provided for the children.  Sign up deadline is Friday, February 10^th. The cost for this wonderful event is $18.00 for the entire family.  Gifts will be raffled off. See attached flyer for details.

If you would be interested in sponsoring the dinner, please let us know.   Also, we are looking for volunteers to help set up and clean up after the dinner.  If you are available, please contact Mrs. Vaspol at 845-634-0951.

Kidstuff:

Your child brought home a brochure which contains a variety of coupons for supermarkets, entertainment, clothing, etc.  Payment of $25.00 or return of the book is due on Friday, February 10^th.

Mishloach Manot:

Attached you will find a letter explaining the Mishloach Manot greeting gifts.  Please send in your check for $36.00 by Friday, February 24^th to participate in this mitzvah.

Your support  in the PTA program is greatly needed,  as our PTA sponsors many functions/items within the school – i.e. Rosh Chodesh treats, holiday treats, school activities, supplies etc.

Thank you.

Mrs. Rose Baum,
President of the PTA

Dear Parents,

Thank you to all the Hebrew Academy families who ordered and sold coupon books for our KidsStuff Coupon Book fundraiser. With your help we have raised over $350 dollars! These funds are already being used to purchase Rosh Chodesh Kislev and Chanukah treats for our students!

More funding is ALWAYS needed. Any families who wish to donate money towards Rosh Chodesh Kislev and Chanukah treats in honor of their child's Kislev birthday are welcome to do so. Please contact Dr. Debbie Shatkin at (845) 362-6938 for details.

Early Childhood Center News

This Wednesday morning the parents of our Early Childhood Center students enjoyed a "Getting to Know You" breakfast sponsored by the PTA. We hope that the morning you spent together will forge new friendships (and carpool opportunities!) for the future.

REMINDER

School photo orders are being submitted this weekend. Any parent who still wants to order photos or photo gifts may email Dr. Shatkin with last minute orders at any time BEFORE Monday morning 11/8. 100% of the proceeds of your photo orders are being used for PTA activities.

SAVE THE DATE!!!

Sunday November 14th
Join us for the Second Annual PTA Family Dinner!!!

Bring the kids and enjoy dinner and entertainment sponsored by the PTA. Formal invitations and details will be sent home with your child(ren) on Monday.

Debbie & Chav
PTA Presidents

Dear Parents,

Please take the time to look through the following impressive list of valuable coupons. These coupons are compiled in a school fundraiser book that we are offering to all of our families. Each KidStuff and More Coupon Savings Book costs $25. As you can see, your savings are exponentially greater than the small cost of the book. Book sales would earn the school a 50% profit - money that goes directly to programs and activities for our kids; and the coupons inside can easily save you considerably more.

Please support our school and save yourself some money in the process. Offer a book to your friends, family, neighbors, too.

The parents that got to see them at the PTA meeting were very impressed. You will be, too!
