LETTER FROM THE AFTER SCHOOL DIRECTOR מכתב מראש הצהרון Dear JCDS Families, Welcome to and welcome back, to JCDS and the JCDS After School Program. For those who don t know me, this will be my second year as Manager of the After School Program. I have worked at JCDS for the past 5 years getting to know all of your children. It is important that they are able to come to a caring and safe environment when they cannot be with you. I will always strive to provide that, and in addition make it a fun place to be as well! Whether it be engaging in games, playing on the playground or being a part of a Club, JCDS After School Program always works to include your child and make him/her feel part of a special group. I also want to take this time to welcome Rebecca White as my Assistant this year! Rebecca has worked at JCDS for the past 4 years and is excited to be joining us in the After School Program. We both look forward to reconnecting with your children and getting to know the new additions of the JCDS community! If you have any questions, you can always reach me at robinm@jcdsboston.org. Thank you, Robin L. Munger JCDS After School Manager 3 FALL 2017
