A Heartfelt "Thank You!"
Our school year is drawing to a close. We have had such a spectacular year of Jewish learning, friendship, and fun. For all of you who have helped make this year the success it has been ... Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for selling bagels and sitting at the security table. Thank you for driving on field trips, helping with celebrations, assisting with classroom projects. Thank you for showing up and singing and learning along with your kids during Kehila Tephila. Without our students, there is simply no school. Thank you for entrusting them to us. We have enjoyed them greatly and look forward to yet the start of another amazing year in August.
