By Nancy Isaacs: We ended the month of May by learning about emergency workers community helpers and the mitzvoth they perform in our community. The Harrison Fire Department, Ambulance Corps and Police Department were all represented in the upper parking lot. The children loved climbing on the fire truck, lying down in the ambulance and meeting the police dog while learning about all the equipment on the vehicles. The 3’s and 4’s planted an organic vegetable garden (in large pots on the upper lawn) under the guidance of a mentor from Cornell Cooperative Extension. Thank you to our parent coordinator, Lindsey Leibowitz and the generous donation of the pots and organic soil from the Teitelbaum and Israel families. We are looking forward to a delicious harvest of beans, zucchini and corn in early fall, as well as the beautiful blooms of the pink fairy lilies and tiger lilies the children planted. The teachers and I are looking forward to the 4’s “moving up” Shabbat service and dinner on Friday, June 4th. The children have been practicing hard to lead their families in a Kabbalat Shabbat service of song and celebration. It’s hard to believe they are already moving on to kindergarten! The last day of the year is on Thursday, June 10th. The children will enjoy a magic show in the morning and then we will welcome all current and new ECC families to a barbecue at 5:30 with musical entertainment by Andy Baum. What a great way to start the summer! Registration for 2010-2011 programs is ongoing. Our parenting center is open for the youngest with parent (toddlers aged 12-18 months), and enrollment remains open for the 2’s, 3’s and 4’s. Please call the ECC office for more information.
