SUNDAY SCHOOL ANNOUNCEMENT 1/8/17

Dear Kol Haskalah parents,
Because of the expectation of winter weather, we are considering calling off Sunday School this weekend.  We have not yet made this decision — it’s always possible that the forecast will prove inaccurate.
A final decision will be made before 1:00pm tomorrow (Saturday) and will be announced by email.  I ask that you confirm receipt of tomorrow’s email so I know that everyone is informed.
Hope you have a safe, warm next day or two!
