Shalom Parents,
As we near the end of another successful school year, we can't help but think ahead to the summer, vacations, time to relax in the sun (if it ever arrives in Cleveland!), and cheer on the Cavs in the playoffs!
But first I want to reflect on the great year we've had - it has been wonderful to see our Gan (Pre-K-K) come to Shabbat school for the very first time, take pride in our 1st grade students as they were consecrated in the sanctuary, engage with our 2nd graders in Hebrew activities, hear our 4th and 5th graders chant from the Torah, and volunteer with our middle school and high school students to help those in need in Cleveland. Later this month, I am excited for our 3rd graders to receive their very own Siddur and lead the entire Shabbat morning service!
Following the 3rd Grade class service on May 21st, the entire school community is invited for an End-of-Year Shabbat Lunch. I hope you can join us as we celebrate the end of this school year together and look forward to even greater things to come!
End-of-Year Shabbat Lunch
Saturday, May 21st
12:00 pm in Halpern Hall
