Eighteen prekindergarten students graduated from The J’s Early Learning Center during a May 29 ceremony. Early Childhood Director Norma Cahen spoke at the ceremony and the children sang songs, including one about tzedakah. (They collected coins all year and voted to give $25 to the Senior Center and $300 to J maintenance man Billy Chandler, a frequent visitor to the class). Each graduate also was asked beforehand 10 questions about the J, their class, their friend and themselves. Cahen read each child’s answers as they stood before their parents.
