Every Friday during KabShab, students exchange Kol Hakavod (Hebrew for "well done") to recognize and appreciate peers, faculty, and the community. This tradition fosters gratitude and encouragement, strengthening connections within Kehillah.
Here are some Kol Hakavods that we would like to share from students:
- Kol Hakavod to everyone who ran for Class President!
- Kol Hakavod to whoever is in charge of the snack table.
- Kol Hakavod to the KAT Chem class for learning Bunsen burner safety.

In this week's Ram's Eye View, we captured a special moment with our Model United Nations club hosting a bake sale fundraiser.The Model UN club engages students in simulations where they act as diplomats, learning about the UN’s functions while developing skills in diplomacy, negotiation, and problem-solving. Participants debate global issues, support UN values, and work on initiatives related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Although not photographed, we would like to highlight that three of our students with School Counselor Sarah Lesser had the amazing opportunity to attend the Stanford Neurodiversity Summit on Tuesday, September 24. They had the chance to listen to talks and connect with neurodiverse individuals, educators, employers, researchers, and service providers to explore neurodiversity's positive contributions.
