Kol Ami Temple Youth (KATY)  

KATY and Bagels
You may have noticed that the KATY (Kol Ami Temple Youth) have set up "shop" in the morning. They sell bagels, muffins, water, coffee and juice. They are usually set up by about 9:15 am and all proceeds go to benefit the youth group activities. Parents, feel free to patronize them. Isn't it better to spend $1 at CKAF, than $5 at Starbucks?! However, we would prefer that you and students come a little early and eat their bounty in the All Purpose room, preferably before class. If a student brings food into the class, the teacher may ask them to place the goodies in a ziplock until snack time to avoid having the food become a distraction during instructional time. Also, if they buy a drink, please choose water (it comes with a cap). Thanks for understanding!
