Open House  
Last night the school was filled with families interested in exploring King David as the next step in their education journey. Over 140 people joined the presentation hosted by our students with Russ Klein, Head of School, and the entire King David teaching staff.  
 
Below please find a small taste of the evening with the introductory video presentation. It will give you just a hint of what an extraordinary experience we offer our students and community.

Thank you to the many families who attended and made the evening such a success! Thank you as well to all the King David students who so willingly volunteered their time to serve as ambassadors for their school!

We Stand with Israel 
At a school-wide assembly on Tuesday, Mark Gurvis, CEO, Jewish Federation, who recently returned from Israel, addressed the students and staff. Mark presented an overview of events and articulated to the students things they could do to demonstrate their support for Israel. The assembly finished with Mark answering many questions from students. We all joined in a prayer for Israel before taking the photo below to visually show our support for Israel..
