Camp Ramah Jacoby Merit Award Scholarship 2015

 

Mazal Tov to Fifth Grade Student, Noa Levy, who is the recipient of this year's Camp Ramah in California Jacoby Merit Award Scholarship.  The award includes a four-week session at Camp Ramah this summer.  Noa received the award as her teachers deemed her to be outstanding in her Jewish learning, thinking and understanding.  Noa is an exceptional dugmah (example) for our school community.  On behalf of the Jacoby Family, Camp Ramah, and Kadima, we congratulate Noa on receiving this award and scholarship.


The Kadima Way:  The Value of Caring

 

Over the past month, students have been living the value of "Caring". We have focused on the value of "Loving your neighbor as yourself, V'ahavta L'reacha Kamocha (Vayikra 19:18). Students across the grades have been engaged in writing essays and poems, and discussing what it means to care for others as you care for yourself. We have integrated it into all areas of our curriculum.  At our Rosh Hodesh Shevat service, the following students were presented with a tag, and recognized for living this past month's Kadima Way value:

  • Kindergarten: Soul Gash and Emily Miller
  • First Grade: Emjay Peck, Paige Zelener, Naomi Samansky, and Ethan Galam
  • Second Grade: Noa Bronstein and Nathaniel Benyeshay
  • Third Grade: Noam Feig
  • Fourth Grade: Gilad Bronstein and Lia Kedmy
  • Fifth Grade: Jack Caputo and Mia Simon

During this coming month, when we celebrate Tu B'Shevat, our Kadima Way value is Tikkun Olam, Repairing the world.
