Election Day Camp Highlights

 

On November 5th, while parents headed to the polling centers, PJ Library and Sinai Temple had a day filled with special election day activities! Children were able to choose their party, either Team Latka or Team Hamentashen, relax with yoga, make campaign posters, solve clues on a voting scavenger hunt, and eat Latkies and Hamentashen. We also read several books and discussed the importance of elections! You can check out some photos from our camp to the right.
