Middle School Wednesday WEEL 

Students learn about the role & function of a Sofer!



They study the Mishna on Sukkot and use DBL
(design based learning) to create scale models according to the rules.  



They learn how to classify seeds using the dichotomous key,


and they conduct tests using the
Scientific Method.

Students complete applications for their own  library cards.


The first WEEL activity kept students on campus,


making new friends,


discovering new things, 


and visiting with staff!

Help is still needed for the for the following two shifts:

Remember to cut out, save, and turn in your box tops!
Do those Boxtops for Education ever actually add up to anything? YES they do! In just our first MONTH of collecting, families turned in 291 boxtops, worth $29.10! 
And only about four or five families seem to have contributed. 
So, do the math ... more families, more months, more dollars!

"The Parent-Child Dance: Strategies & Techniques For Staying One Step Ahead"
     Thursday, November 12 - Dr. Roberta Goldberg

The Board Corner  - - 
Our next board meeting is October 13. Parents are welcome, but please let the office know if you are planning on attending. "What happens at a board meeting," you ask? While it is tempting to think we break wooden boards, or board things up, or just sit around bored, none of those apply. We usually have a school report which gives us the latest information before it hits the Hadashot. Likewise, we have a PTO report and probably will hear about the first meeting and planned events. We will definitely talk finances and make sure your tuition dollars are hard at work. We'll also check in on the annual fund and endowment campaigns to keep the school running and grow it for the future. Oh, and for sure we'll have some snacks...
