Greetings!
It's intense. It's never the same two days in a row. I believe in it with all my heart and soul. And it's ultimately about enhancing people's lives. That's how I feel about my sacred work as a Jewish Day School admissions and recruitment professional. So, getting to spend two days thinking about the central dilemmas and exciting opportunities of this work with 27 other admissions professionals was delicious.

BREAKING NEWS!
CJDS Tzedekah Club & Mid Ohio Food Bank
|
|
A half million folks in Central Ohio suffer from hunger and 180,000 of them are children.
The Mid Ohio food bank sent us a flyer
letting us know what kinds of foods would really help. They also shared that our community members have other needs that they can’t get funded from any government agency.
We were surprised to learn that
diapers
were on the top of the list of most needed items.
The list also includes chili with beans, tuna, canned vegetables, canned meat, soup with vegetable, peanut butter, canned fruit (in light corn syrup), deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes and toothpaste. Tzedakah club members would like to ask YOU to help fill these needs. There will be boxes for your donations in the lobby and outside the Art Room (AKA Tzedakah Club House). We will be collecting from now until Community Day (November 20th). Thank you for helping us to make a difference!

FEATURED CLUB: LEGO ROBOTICS
|
After many weeks of anticipation, our club is up and running for our Fall season!
- We are a group of K-5th graders.
- We will be dedicated to learning together and all increasing our knowledge with a lot of fun as well.
- Our challenge this week was to learn how to build a structure that could drop without breaking.
- We also learned how to document our work and improve our Lego building by using more advanced Technic pieces.
We were joined by a member of the New Albany High School Robotics Team, Nate. He helped coach our members and would love to return, possibly with more from his group! Here is a link to his group:

Pictured below: Ms. A.G., Jenny Glick, and Dr. Z. spent an afternoon with their talented and wonderful local colleague,
Pam Hartshorne, Director of the Upper School at Columbus School for Girls. Pam spent the afternoon at CJDS on Wednesday touring classrooms, being greeted by our student ambassadors, learning about a Torah scroll, enjoying our butterfly garden and pond, and was struck to learn what CJDS and CSG have in common.
|
|
“It was so uplifting to spend the afternoon with you. Joy, enthusiasm and a deep sense of purpose are the first things that struck me during my first visit to CJDS. In addition to feeling warmly welcomed by the staff, faculty and students, it was fascinating and inspiring to see a completely different school that shares an equal appreciation for helping students express their authentic selves.”

KESHER: CJDS Parent Organization
|
|
As in the past, we are so grateful to all the help from the community members - grandparents, friends, parents, and others – on whom we rely to serve hot lunch to our students. Our volunteers bring such a warmth and love to our students and we love having all of you! In order to make this sign-up process even more smooth this year,
we would love each family (any family member or friend) to sign up for two dates during the whole year to serve lunch. It can be a parent, a grandparent, a special friend - anyone who is interested in spending time with our wonderful students and serving them food.
|
|
CJDS is proud to have a Parent Organization called Kesher (Hebrew for "connection"). Kesher has a team of grade representatives led by a president.
Kesher is responsible for the CJDS Hot Lunch program, social gatherings outside of school, teacher appreciation, the CJDS Chesed committee and more! To get involved,
please be in touch HERE.
|
|
Hot Lunch server responsibilities include:
- Volunteer to serve lunch HERE
- 11:25 a.m.: Arrive at CJDS
- 11:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.: Set out the plates and assemble lunches
- 12:00 p.m.-12:30 p.m.: Students arrive for lunch at 12:00 p.m. and we help serve the lunch to those who have ordered.
