Early Childhood Director

Even with this short week of school, we've kicked off the Hebrew month of Adar in a BIG way! It is customary, as Purim is approaching, to make sure that the month is full of joy! To add to the learning and fun, we have planned a variety of experiences that are sure to add excitement to this joyous time of the year. In Early Childhood, students learned the story of Purim and created their own graggers. In Lower and Middle Schools, students hosted a spirited Israeli dance party, and are getting creative for  Spirit Week, which culminates next Thursday with our Purim celebration at school. Don't forget your costumes!
