Back to School … Again

Hard to believe, but it is already time to go back to school. Where did the summer go?

As the new school year begins, there are some fun things to look forward to: For instance, have you gone shopping for new clothes yet? Did you get an awesome Batman or Zac Ephron folder? Are you excited to see your friends again? And just think: only a few more months until Thanksgiving!

YeLAdim decided to register for classes, but something funny happened to the computer. Instead of listing the name of the class, it printed out clues that begin with the letter B. Can you help straighten things out before the bell rings? BR>

Classes: drama, English, Hebrew, history, lunch, math, physical education, typing, science

Learn about the amazing creatures that live there and the importance of the reef to the ocean ecosystem — not to mention that you get to see these animals for yourself and take home a colorful coral reef craft. $24 (per kid), $19 (for members) 2:30-4:30 p.m. 4- to 5-year-olds.
