Ella and Paul Schaeffer share some father/daughter time at the Beth El carnival.

Getting ready for the beginning of a new school year isn’t always an occasion for kids to rejoice, but that wasn’t the case at the “Back to Beth El Religious School Carnival” at Beth El Temple in West Hartford on August 28, where kids of all ages enjoyed an afternoon of good fun, food and entertainment.

Aubrey Koteen, 20 months old, has fun in the “bouncy house” at the Beth El carnival.
