We are SO excited for Sunday!  The Purim Carnival is a BIG operation and there are several logistical items everyone NEEDS to know!  This short list will allow for MAXIMUM FUN & SAFETY.

     1. PreKindergarten through 6th grades - drop off (TOP PARKING LOT AND WALK CHILDREN DOWN...the road will be closed at 8:30 for set up).

     2. Parents should join their children in the sanctuary at 10:00 for the Purim Shpiel (written & performed by 7th & 8th graders).

     3. Wristbands for students WITH parents present will be handed out in the sanctuary before dismissal to 10:30 carnival.

     4. Any child (6th and younger) without a parent present, will be taken to the Religious School office to call home.

     5. Items for drop-off can be brought to the main entrance ( SignUp Genius ). There are many items still available on the sign-up!

     6. Volunteers (we neeeeeeeeed you) can check in with Marina Alberhasky when you arrive.  If you don't know Marina, I will introduce you!

     7. Costumes are encouraged!

     8. There will be food for sale...everything is $1 (pizza, hamentashen, sodas, fruit)! Chill Latte will be here, too!

     9. Bring your friends and sign them in at the WELCOME TABLE!
