Hello and welcome to another exciting year of learning and growing! The buzz and excitement that we witnessed on the first days of school make all the hard work and preparation done over the summer worth it. 

Several teachers were in the school for many days prior to the start of the year to make sure that everything was ready for the first day. It is so nice to see so many returning faces as well as several new faces.

Challah Order
We are pleased to announce that we will be offering the opportunity to purchase Challah through the school every Friday. By prepaying for 1 or 2 Challahs a week, your Challah will be sent home with your child every week baked fresh from the Carriage House Bakery.  

Challahs are $5 each. If you are interested you can prepay through the office to receive challah starting next week until winter break. Please note there will not be Challah on days where there is no school. Orders and payment must be received by Wednesday, September 7 for the next 13 weeks. ($65 for one challah or $130 for two challahs)
 
We apologize but no orders can be accepted after Wednesday, September 7.
