Baby, it's cold outside!
Snow Procedure for Sunday Mornings Snow, ice, or inclement weather closure for Sundays: If you would not drive on the roads, you can bet that school is closed and programs are canceled. Safety is first. In the event of a Sunday morning closure, Kathy will put a message on the Kadima answering machine, (206) 547-3914, and on the website.
Kadima Monday Hebrew and B'nei Mitzvah Classes Snow/Ice Procedure In the event of snow or inclement weather this is our Monday procedure: If it is snowing outside--stay home, stay off the roads.
