Kol Tikvah Religious School Family Rebate Program
The goal of this program is for you, our current members, to help us find new families to join our community. If you bring a new family to join the religious school, you may qualify for a discount on your Religious School fees. *
The first family you bring in gets you a 20% discount on your Religious School fees. If you bring in more families, you get an additional 10% off your fees per new family. And these discounts apply to all of your children in the religious school. You could easily see savings of hundreds of dollars, even up to the full amount of your current Religious School fees!
If you have questions, please contact Rebecca Hoffman, Religious School Director.
*We are sorry, but we can only make this special offer available to those families, current, returning and new, who are not receiving any financial aid from the synagogue. Reduced fees are for the 2010/11 Religious School year only.
