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!

We are encouraging folks who play instruments (guitar, flute, piano, kazoo, spoons, washboard…) to perform their favorites. We are also asking for song suggestions for the sing-along. Let us know your favorites. Bring a dessert to share.
