#1 CHOICE FOR DAYCARE/PRESCHOOL
Sisterhood TE College Festival KitsSisterhood has been keeping our college students connected during the Jewish
holidays for over 25 years with its popular College Kits program for families with undergraduate students. Packages are filled with tips for celebrating the holidays like Rosh Hashanah and Purim away from home, a greeting letter from our clergy, and fun treats.
There is no charge for TE member families with children in college in the United States. There is a fee of $18 for grandparents and for families whose children are studying outside the U.S. to offset mailing expenses.
The deadline for signing up for the 2017-18 academic year is Friday, September 8th. But please try to sign up as soon as you know your student's school address!
There is no automatic renewal, so you must sign up each year. Be sure to include your student’s correct college address for the upcoming year. Sign up online at https://www.templeemanuel.com/community/sisterhood/college-holiday-kits/
