SOMETHING MENSCHENABLE!
The school has been very busy during the days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur:
 
Our younger students (and even a future student), joined together at Greenbriar Nursing Home to share the mitzvah of sounding the shofar.
Awesome volunteers: Eli Brook, Asher Sigman, JJ Stein, Ari Azrad and James Henry Brook.

 

In recognition of 9/11, first grade students delivered cookies and a hand-made card to our local Fire Station, thanking the Fireman for all they do for us.

First Grade show off their card.
Fireman honored on 9/11

WE'RE HAVING A REALLY SWEET YEAR!
Fifth Grade sample pomegranate as they hope that their good deeds during the coming year are as plentiful as the seeds in the fruit.
 
First Grade took a hike so they could do Tashlich together and throw away their 'I'm sorries!'.
