SHA - Light the Way

May 6, 2022 | 05 Iyar 5782

SHAbbat ParSHAt Kedoshim

SHAbbat Candle Lighting: 8:10

Dear SHA Family,

There was a significant amount of space given to addressing the emotional well-being of our students, teachers and families at the Spring Heads Meeting of NWAIS. The concern is based on data gathered from surveys and interviews. This pandemic is taking its toll on each of us. That said – after a day such as this, where we as a community are joyfully celebrating Yom Ha’Atzmaut – I feel optimistic. I deeply believe in our resilience as a people and that when we set aside time to connect to our history and share its import that this in turn helps our students with their sense of identity and purpose. Oh and it absolutely lifts our spirits!

Am Yisrael Chai,

Moadim L’Simcha L’Geulah Shelimah!

Rivy

Dear Grandparents & Grandfriends,

We look forward to welcoming you to our third virtual Grandparents & Grandfriends Day next Monday, May 9th (the day after Mother’s Day) at 9 am PST. While we will miss greeting you in person, we are thrilled to include Grandparents & Grandfriends from here in the US, Canada & Israel.

This year, we will gather as a community with Head of School, Rivy Poupko Kletenik, for a State of the School Update around educating through the pandemic. Rivy will share pictures, video, and educational highlights of each of the classes at SHA to experience “A day in the life of an SHA student.”
