Local preschool program honored

Temple Beth Ahm Preschool, Aberdeen, has won a Gold Award from Solomon Schechter Awards Committee of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. Amy Naphtali, Preschool director, was notified June 29 that the preschool program, Tu B’Shevat Experience, will be honored at the USCJ convention in San Diego in December.

The Tu B’Shevat Experience was a morning consisting of eight stations that the children traveled throughout. Some of the stations included tasting, recycling, creating bird feeders, creating planters from recycled newspapers and then planting seeds in them, and “planting” trees in Israel.
