We are about to launch our Congregation Etz Chaim Summer Olympic Project.  This summer will be the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China.  Hundreds of athletes from around the world will come to compete for the Gold, Silver and Bronze medals.  We are having our own summer Olympics of Jewish Heroes.  Click here for contest rules and entry forms.  I hope we have lots of winners!  If you have any questions, please contact Anne Stein.  This is a fun program for the family to do together in preparation of and during the Olympics.

Message from Anne.... We are busy ordering textbooks, lining up teachers, cleaning rooms and getting things ready for next year.  As we try to update the computer lab, we are looking for a few gently used desktop and laptop computers.  If you have one you no longer use, please email me with the specifications.
