| | | | | MESSAGE FROM MR. MEDWED  Dear Parents,
So the weather finally seems to be appropriate for the time of year! While it is getting colder outside, things are definitely staying warm inside!
In my blog post this week, I shared thoughts and reflections on a conference I attended recently. One of the sessions I talked about was on social networking and community. While walking around the school this week, I happened upon a lovely example of social networking and building community KSA style. As I was walking down the hall near the third grade classrooms, the smell of pizza was in the air. Not unusual since it was pizza day for lunch; what was unusual was the aroma in that part of the building, as lunch is eaten in the gym.
As I turned the corner to see what was going on, imagine my delight when I saw all of the fourth grade girls sitting on the floor in the third grade classroom with one of their teachers from last year, having lunch together. This relationship between students and their teacher is not unusual--in fact is the norm in our school, as relationships between teachers and students have a profound impact on everyone. What was unique here was that it was all of the girls--even those who only came to the school this year. What a wonderful testament to our students and their current teachers for building such a strong classroom community where each child feels as though she has been here since the beginning.
How special is our community!
Shabbat Shalom!
