Challah Delivery 2023-24

The PTC is pleased to offer families challah to be delivered each Friday school is in session, right to your child's classroom for them to bring home.

Funds raised support the PTC BIG (Be Innovative Grant) program which allows faculty to apply for a grant to bring innovative, creative programs and curriculum into the classroom.

You may choose:

Regular or chocolate chip challah delivered weekly
Special Chocolate Chip Challahdays. Delivered 5 times/year (10/13, 12/8, 2/2, 4/5, 5/3)
Holidays Only (two round challahs for Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot, Shemini Atzeret/Simchat Torah delivered 9/14, 9/29, and 10/5)
Shabbat Treats delivered 9 times on the final Friday of each month.
Donate My Challah to The Self Help Home (a Jewish retirement community nearby school)

If your child is absent please make arrangements with your child's teacher or the PTC Challah Committee to receive your challah. Any remaining challah will be donated.
