ART, LITERATURE FORM CORE OF TEMPLE BETH ORR'S RELIGIOUS SCHOOL ENRICHMENT PROGRAM

 Learning about art, literature and culture related to the Jewish experience through projects, performance and discussion has become a hallmark of the Machon enrichment program offered at Temple Beth Orr's religious school. The program, which meets two Sundays a month from 9 to 10 a.m., is available by application to students in grades 3 through 7 who are already enrolled in the school.

 Created by veteran teacher Sandi Croner, the program launched last year and focused on Marc Chagall. Participants painted emulating his style and presented a play about his life to younger students. Croner was impressed by the results.

 "The team was dynamic. They worked together in a cooperative painting experience," she said. "Chagall belonged to an artists' community and the students ended up becoming a community themselves by assisting someone who needed help finishing their painting. It was really from the heart. It was totally fabulous."

 For more information about enrolling in the religious school and the enrichment program, call 954-753-3232. Temple Beth Orr is located at 2151 Riverside Drive in Coral Springs.

Holiday Happenings is a fun holiday resource designed for parents and staff of the Union's Early Childhood Programs. In creative and exciting ways, these pages address upcoming holidays and ways to integrate Jewish tradition into the lives of our youngest students in school and at home. Early Childhood Directors, Educators and parents are invited to download each Holiday Happening. Schools may distribute this as part of their ongoing teacher parent communication and education. Enjoy!

Kudos to the PTO parents and Director of our ECC  who expressed the desire for their school to "go green" teaching our children that we all have a responsibility to our planet. 
The idea was brought to our Building and Grounds committee who not only agreed,but went a step further and now all of TBO has  "gone green."
