Spotlight on Preschool
Our preschool program has once again had a great year. During every class, to highlight each holiday we are studying, we sing songs with Ms. Jessica Simpson, read a story with Ms. Marsha Goldberg and do an art project with Ms. Joni Watson. For Purim this year we made fun masks to wear to the carnival. We celebrated Tu B'Shvat by decorating cupcakes and singing "Happy Birthday" to the trees and planting parsley that we can use on Passover. For our class this week we will make a Passover counting book. It has been a wonderful year and we will be sad to see it end in May.

"We could learn a lot from crayons... Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box."

Pre-registration is coming!
May 3, 10 and 17 are pre-registration days for next year's Religious School and Hebrew School. (Religious School begins on September 13, 2009, by the way!)
To kick it up a notch, this year's forms are pre-printed with all your student's information. You need only to verify nothing has changed, make any corrections necessary and sign. Easy!
Pre-planning for next year's classes is very important to us. Please help us by stopping by the registration tables in the lobby during one of these mornings and registering your students now for the 2009-2010 school year.

Make Matzo Brittle for Passover
Here's a quick treat you can make and share with friends to enjoy during Passover!
Matzo Brittle
10-12 sheets of matzo (may need more or less depending upon size of your baking sheets)
1 pound butter or margarine
2 cups brown sugar
Your choice of toppings: chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, chopped nuts
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Line rimmed baking sheets with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray. Place boards of matzo, breaking into smaller rectangles and squares as needed, on the sheets until filled. No matzo should overlap.
Melt butter or margarine in a heavy sauce pan with the brown sugar. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. Boil 3 minutes, then evenly pour and spread over the matzo.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and immediately drop the temperature to 350 degrees.
Bake for 15 minutes or until you see the brown sugar mixture bubbling evenly. Remove from the oven to a cooling rack.
Immediately sprinkle white and milk chocolate chips over the matzo. (Use other types of chips, such as butterscotch chips, peanut butter chips, etc. and/or nuts to your taste)
Allow the chips to melt for about 5-10 minutes, then use a knife to marbleize the chocolate over the matzo.
Allow to cool a while longer, then place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to allow the matzo to harden and chill.
When thoroughly chilled, cut or break into pieces. Keep refrigerated in a covered container or zip top bag.
