Dear Parents and Students,

                My name is Ronit Johnson and I would like to take a moment to introduce you to a program called Haverim. Haverim is a Youth and Family program that invites all third and fourth graders to come together once a month for an afternoon of fun with other Jewish children. Each month, we have a fun activity planned for the students that gives them the opportunity to make lasting friendships that will grow stronger through their youth group years. Haverim translates to “friends” in English, and my goal is for the third and fourth graders in this program to form strong friendships, whether they attend The Jewish Center Religious School, Abrams Hebrew Academy, Solomon Schechter Day School, or any other school. Haverim members participate in social activities, community service events, and holiday celebrations.
                Many of you know me from my numerous years here at the Jewish Center. I am a teacher and staff member in the Religious School, I lead Tot Shabbat services, and this year I am also the advisor for Haverim. I have a very strong background in Early Childhood and Elementary Education with plenty of experience in the field. I look forward to working more with the third and fourth graders in the Haverim group and giving them the opportunity to experience these fun events while strengthening their Jewish identities. I was a youth group member during my religious school years and have many memories that will last a lifetime. I hope to have that same affect on this year’s Haverim members.
                Haverim members will receive phone calls and e-mails from me about upcoming Haverim events. They also receive mailings and discounted prices on all Haverim events. This year we have a movie night, laser tag, chocolate seder, and much more planned! The next program is our “Sukkah Magic” program, and it is bound to be a fun time! We will have a pizza lunch in the sukkah, a magic show, and a craft project. I hope to see many of you there.
                I am always available to address questions. My e-mail address is rjohnson@thejewishcenter.org. My phone number is (609) 529-4211.

Sincerely,
Ronit Johnson
Haverim Advisor
