Parents had a peak into the routine and what their children have learned in a year at The Gan at Temple Sinai Friday, May 27. 

Students performed songs in English and in Hebrew for parents during a promotion and graduation ceremony. The Gan Director Laura Freedman said that part of the teachings include giving to others. Throughout the year students have been collecting funds in their classroom.

Freedman announced that the funds, a total of $184.34 that consisted of mostly pennies, would be donated to the American Cancer Society.
