WH LITTLE LEAGUE: Attention parents of children in grades K-8:
For many years, the West Hempstead shuls have participated in the Shul
Little League based in the 5 Towns. As our community has grown, many parents
have expressed a desire to keep games “closer to home”, which would offer many
advantages. B"H, assuming sufficient participation, it appears that we
have enough children in our community to establish a local league with several
teams at each level. However, it is important that we gauge your interest as
soon as possible. Please e-mail yiwhlittleleague@hotmail.com by February 8th to indicate your interest in such a
league, and the grade and gender of each child that would be signed up.
HOMEWORK HELPERS: In order to arrange the
best help for your childs
individual needs, Homework Helpers is now a "by request" service.
Please contact Jesse Gordon (text: 516-754-8311,
email: jdgordon725@gmail.com) or
Rebecca Gordon (text: 516-404-7765, email: rgordon330@gmail.com).
