{A Feast of Lights and Latkes}

On December 1st we celebrated Chanukah in room 316! What a wonderful time we all had participating in the traditions of the holiday! Some of us were part of exciting dreidel games; others peeled, grated and squeezed potatoes, while others read Chanukah books.  All of us enjoyed delicious potato latkes with dollops of sour cream and apple sauce. A very special thank you to Cathy and Sharon for organizing this spectacular celebration and to Monica for all her help through the lovely morning.
