Dear Parents,

 

What an incredible week it was here at school!  As you saw from the email and the video that we sent you yesterday, we had an amazing Purim celebration in school!  If you missed the video, click here to view it. 


We have so much to celebrate and enjoy in our school community.  It has been almost a month since our 8th graders returned from Israel.  As part of the follow up to the trip as well as one of the ways we integrate that experience across the curriculum, our students wrote reflective essays about their experiences.  Please check out the blog to read some of the essays our students wrote.  I will be adding a new essay each day for the next few days as well, so enjoy the reading and feel free to comment on the blog--we would love to engage our students in the thinking and writing they have done!


Next week we have a regular week of school and are looking forward to seeing everyone back on Monday morning--don't forget to change the clocks!


Shabbat Shalom!

Lost & Found

Northface Jacket

 

A 4th Grader has lost his North Face grey jacket. We believe another child may be wearing it/took it home as their own, as a similar  North Face jacket was in the Lost & Found that was NOT Matthew's. Parents: Please check your child's coat to see if, indeed, it is your child's. The initials "MG" might be on the label, or some other area on the inside of the jacket. Thanks for helping us solve this mystery!  Please contact the office if you find it.
