Ohavim BBG - A Month of Sisterhood -
What a Great Start to the Year
By Mimi Brown
September was an amazing
month for Ohavim BBG. We start
ed off the month with a fantastic
joint program with our sister chap
ter, Chai Chaverim BBG. This was
our first program with the current
MIT (Members-In-Training)
class, and it was a huge
success. The following
week, we had the annual
chapter visit program.
Ail of the MITs spent 45
minutes with Chai
Chaverim and 45 min
utes with Ohavim. This
way, they could get a
feel for each chapter and
have a better idea of
where they would like to
be. The following week,
September 20, we had a
joint games program
with Chai Chaverim
BBG.
September was a month filled
with loving sisterhood and amaz
ing programs with our sister chap
ter. By the end of the month, every
new member had been assigned to
her own chapter, so now we can
really get started with an amazing
year of bonding and friendship.
Our schedule has been planned for
the rest of the term through
January.

child. However, when you stop to
think about a great preschool, one
would have to think of the overall
goal for developing children.
Parents, educators, and adminis
tration would tell you that the
goal is to develop strong, inde
pendent people whom have good
faith, self confidence and worth,
the ability to make good choices
and have a love for learning that
guides them throughout their
lives. To accomplish such a colos
sal task, the entire pre-school and
community need to encompass
the needs of the whole child. It
should be an environment that is
enriching and exposes the chil
dren to all kinds of experiences;
especially ones that light up
your senses and stimulate your
mind. As I wander the halls, I
now know how a preschool
should be.
‘‘A leader who doesn’t
hesitate before he sends
his nation into battle is
not fit to be a leader.”
