September, 2009 Dear Parents: Welcome to your child's first year of afternoon Hebrew School. I have been teaching the third graders Hebrew, here at NSCI, for the past 14 years. Previously, I taught Hebrew School for 15 years in Virginia Beach, VA. I will be teaching the third graders to read Hebrew, to write Hebrew in both print and cursive forms, and simple Hebrew vocabulary words. Each Sunday morning during Religious School, your children will have a 20 minute Hebrew session with me. This provides an excellent opportunity to reinforce material learned during the week, as well as offering weekday absentees an introduction to the material missed. I would like to use your child's Hebrew name during our class. Please send in a note with your child giving me that information. If your child does not have a Hebrew name, please let me know that in the note, and I will ask Rabbi Geffen to contact you with name suggestions. I look forward to a wonderful year of learning. If you need to contact me during the school year, please call the school office. They will give you my home phone number. Thank you! Mrs. Abrons
