The JCC of Mid-Westchester Nursery School PTA hosted its first annual book swap on Wednesday, February 9th. Nearly 200 children and parents enjoyed a “pajamas only” evening of stories, book swapping, milk and cookies and a visit from Clifford the Big Red Dog. Over 700 books were donated by nursery school families for the event. All the books that were not “swapped” were donated to local charitable organizations. The JCC Nursery school’s next PTA event will be a Mitzvah Day in May.
