Science News at KDHS!
| |
This term in Ms. Tess Gardiner's Science class, pop-bottle ecosystems were built to observe the interactions between living and non-living components in the environment. The students built their own ecosystems and came up with questions that could be answered through observations. They then observed the pop-bottles for a 10 day period and then each group presented their findings to the class.
Isaac and Shain had one of the most interesting observations. They started with 13 earthworms and two beans and ended up with 42 worms, 15 aphids and two large bean plants!

The Door is Open!
| |
Over the past few months our students have been volunteering at The Door is Open and Mission Possible on the downtown East side. The experience has been profound for all who have been and many are eager to go again.
We are inviting parent volunteers to join our students and staff feed the homeless at The Door Is Open throughout the school year. Parents will receive 3 PPP hours for their time. The dates listed below are currently available and if you are interested in assisting us in our community service, please let Lisa Stibravy know via email. You are asked to drive the students to The Door is Open, participate in preparing and serving the food, and then drive the students back to the school. If you are interested in participating in this project, please indicate your desired date(s) and how many students you can take with you. Your date will be confirmed and the necessary details and directions provided. A teacher will accompany the students on each visit. The experience should be from 9.15 am and we should be back at school by 12:20 pm.

Save the Date for King David's Annual Theatrical Performance!
|
|
|
| |
Kol Halev Performance Ensemble presents their holiday show, "Hanukkah in Chelm", this December - and King David teachers, parents and students are involved!
In "Chelm", the villagers think it would be wonderful if Hanukkah lasted all year long, but soon discover that you can perhaps get too much of a good thing. There are original songs, and lots of dance numbers - it's fun for the whole family!
Featured in the cast are King David teacher Anna-Mae Wiesenthal and student Claire Riback, plus parent Gary Lazar. Our Digital Assistant Jeremy Festinger assisted Kol Halev behind the scenes, and five of King David's art students contributed an impressive papier-mache fish!
