Preschoolers from the Bertha Alyce Early Childhood Center danced and sang while acting out the Chanukah story in a play on Friday morning. Their parents, armed with cameras and camcorders, laughed and cheered as children occasionally forgot lines and tried to help their classmates remember what to do. The Bertha Alyce Center preschool is part of the Jewish Community Center of Houston. Click photos to enlarge.
