Dear Parents and Friends,

It's hard to believe that June is already here and the school year is winding down. Although we had a short week, with Shavuot break in between, our students took advantage of the time that we had to learn and grow. Our Middle School students learned about the major minhagim of the holiday on Erev Shavuot and made " minhag packages" to help fulfill them. They worked in groups to make no-bake cheesecakes in honor of eating dairy on Shavuot, made origami flowers to represent how Hashem decorated Har Sinai with flowers, and worked on Torah learning goal setting. They also completed Pirkei Avot over Shavuot.

Please note that the 4th and 5th Grade's  iPlay America Permission Slips  are due Monday, June 5th and  Yearbook Order Forms  are due Friday June 9th. 

8th Grade students  will be taking their Standardized Tests next week, June 5-June 9.  Arranging for make-up sessions for the many sections of the testing is quite difficult, so please try to make sure that your child is present on those days, and arrives on time.   S/he should be well rested and should have had a good breakfast.  

Please mark your calendars for our 8th Grade Graduation on Thursday June 15 at 7:00 pm at Congregation Brothers of Israel in Elberon.

SAVE THE DATE:  Ocean Campus Parents: Please also mark your calendars for our annual end of the year picnic on Wednesday, June 21 from 12:00 to 2:00 pm.

I look forward to seeing our families represent our school community together this Sunday, June 4 at the Celebrate Israel Parade. The bus will depart from Congregation Brothers of Israel in Elberon at 9:15am sharp. For those families coming on their own, meeting/lineup location is at 11:50am on 53rd Street, between 5th-6th avenues.

Shabbat Shalom and have a great weekend,

Rabbi Elie Tuchman, Ed.D.
Head of School
