School's Out!
Oh, no! It's spring break, a teacher workday, or a snow day. And no matter what, you have to go to work.

It's ok. Take a deep breath. Then, call the Shaw JCC. If your kids are out of school, we've got a great program planned. Pack a parve lunch (what's that?) and a swimsuit and stop worrying. You can drop your kids off as early as 7 am and pick them up as late as 6 pm. In between, they'll have a great day. Want to know more? Call Children's Services Director Katie Vensel at 330-835-0035 or email her here.

Costs for School's Out:
Shaw JCC Members $29
