Dear Yavneh Family,

Although our senior class has only been finished classes for a few weeks, seeing them present their reflections from March of Living touched me deeply.  In short, the poise, depth and maturity so evident in their thoughtful, articulate words gave me and those in attendance great hope for our Jewish future.  In the words of Dallas survivor Max Glauben, "You now understand the lessons of the March, and will carry them forward the rest of your days."  Special thanks to Pam Fine, Rabbi Tannenbaum and Max for leading our students on a trip of a lifetime!

Yavneh Athletics have truly come a long way over the past several years, and this week's Athletic Banquet celebrated the hard work, grit and accomplishments of a tremendous group of student-athletes, coaches and families that support Bulldog Athletic.  Starting with an ebullient slideshow narrated by Athletic Director David Zimmerman and produced by Social Studies teacher and Film Club Advisor Mr. Ari Dembo, Yavneh sports were highlighted in vivid color and sound.  Following the show, coaches and players recognized one another and the many achievements of a truly outstanding year in Yavneh Athletics.

As we move toward the end of the Omer period and the holidays of Shavuot and Memorial Day, there is much to be thankful for on Merit Drive.  Without the support and devotion of parents, grandparents and donors like you, we simply could not accomplish all the incredible things we do.  So, please accept our warmest wishes for the holiday weekend, and our deepest gratitude for all you do for Yavneh.

Shabbat Shalom, Chag Shavuot Sameach and Am Yisrael Chai!

Dr. P
