Supporting our youngest members

All the children at Shir Chadash are incredibly talented whether they play instruments, sports, act, create art, among other talents. We would like to support our members and congratulate them on their accomplishments throughout the year. Please send images of your children's artwork, pictures of them in action, or a short blurb about a new accomplishment to educationdirector@shirchadash.org to be featured in the next Children's Newsletter.

We would also love to support them in person. Let us know about any opportunities to see your children in a local theater production, sports tournament, or art show. We want them to know that their Shir Chadash community is behind them in all their endeavors.
