PCS Welcomes Mason, another Guide-Dog-in-

Training!First PCS helped to

raise Jules, who is now living the life of a

working Guide Dog in sunny California (and,

yes, she went to Disneyland!). Then

there was Elvira whose happy destiny was to be adopted as a pet with a

loving and energetic family on Long Island,

with two young children, one with

special needs. Win-win for all!

And now PCS Administrator Marcy Gray - with the help,

support, love and encouragement of the PCS community - will

"finish" raising 1-year-old Mason for the next

6 months or so.A big part of a Guide

Dog's training is learning how to behave

well in all different situations,

environments with all

Hey/Vav students practicing leading prayers on the bimah.

Reminder: There will be no Hebrew School on December 23, 27 & 30.

Enjoy the winter break, and a happy, healthy new year to all!
