HAT first grader Taegen Leiden.
Strelitz four-year-olds through Hebrew Academy fifth grade families celebrated good times at the Pasta Dinner and Bingo Night earlier this year. Held in the Sandler Family Campus multi-purpose room, the affair is a social tradition shared by board members, faculty and families who gather in an atmosphere of warmth and pure entertainment.
Deb Segaloff, development director, HAT alum and chef extraordinaire, heads up the kitchen each year, assisted by devoted parent, grandparent and board member volunteers. They cooked up a delicious meal of pasta, garlic bread and salad followed by a brownie dessert. Kids enjoyed coloring, eating their favorite foods and playing Bingo.
This multi-generational event takes a host of dedicated volunteers to coordinate everything from food prep and serving to set-up and clean-up. Volunteers included Rachel Abrams, Lauren Barkan, Elyssa Brinn, Roz Drucker, Michelle Fenley, Randi Gordon, Brenda Horwitz, Janet Jenkins, Jody Klebanoff, Cindy Kramer, Zach Krell, Ashley Lemke, Lisa Leon, Paul Peck, Susan Schwartzman, Patti Seeman, Maggie Sibony, Becca Schwartzman, Susan Schwartzman, Rachel Smith and Benita Watts.
