Building Blocks - Come Grow with Us
OVS Building Blocks Religious School - 2024/2025
I am so excited about our fourth year of Building Blocks Sunday School – Come Grow with Us!
Classes are for children nursery age through 5th grade and will be held each Sunday September through May from 10:00 - Noon.
The curriculum will focus on Sephardic Jewish heritage, holidays, Hebrew, and will be infused with Israel education. I’ll be responsible for the curriculum and supervision of the school.
OVS Building Blocks will bring us closer to reaching one of the goals, bringing more young families with children to our Keilah. The addition of more young families will help pave the way to a strong future for OVS, with active involvement from multiple generations of participants.
The first session of Building Blocks this year will be held on Sunday, September 8. The program is open to both members and non-members. Details, including all session dates and pricing, can be found at orveshalom.org/event/buildingblocks24-25. Please share with your friends and family.
I can’t wait to see OVS continue to thrive!
