EXTRA, EXTRA:
FIRST CJDS STUDENT NEWSPAPER!
|
|
Greetings!
As my Journalism Club students were looking over a rough draft of their
first school newspaper
one said to another, “This is a real newspaper with really good articles. I’m so proud of us!” They began to cheer, share high-fives, and hugs. The club started just a few weeks ago and CJDS already has a newspaper that was designed, written, and published by students. This is just one example of how CJDS students work together every day to build their community and use their academic skills to complete comprehensive projects and meet goals. My job is to help make those goals a reality and support you, our extended family.

THANKSGIVING DRIVE
CJDS Tzedekah Club is Collecting Items
for the Mid Ohio Food Bank
|
|
A half million folks in Central Ohio suffer from hunger and 180,000 of them are children.
The Mid Ohio food bank sent us a flyer
letting us know what kinds of foods would really help. They also shared that our community members have other needs that they can’t get funded from any government agency.
We were surprised to learn that
diapers
were on the top of the list of most needed items.
The list also includes chili with beans, tuna, canned vegetables, canned meat, soup with vegetable, peanut butter, canned fruit (in light corn syrup), deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes and toothpaste. Tzedakah club members would like to ask YOU to help fill these needs. There will be boxes for your donations in the lobby and outside the Art Room (AKA Tzedakah Club House). We will be collecting from now until Community Day (November 20th). Thank you for helping us to make a difference!

Although they know our building so well from years of sharing the space on Sundays, it was wonderful to be able to show CJDS in action on Thursday morning to Temple Beth Shalom’s Senior Rabbi, Benjy Bar-Lev, and Assistant Rabbi, Lenette Herzog. Rabbi Bar-Lev reflected:
“It was wonderful to spend some time touring CJDS. Along with the talented teachers, engaged students, and picturesque surroundings, I was particularly impressed with how the school incorporates Judaism and Jewish values into all aspects of the day, striving toward shalom – wholeness for each student. It was great to see it in action!”
-Rabbi Benjy Bar-Lev

HAKARAT HATOV
The Hebrew term for gratitude is הַכָּרַת הַטוֹב (
Hakarat HaTov), which means "recognizing the good."
To the four First Grade students who took it upon themselves to collect some litter that had blown in to the CJDS playground area. It was very nice to see our students having a sense of ownership and care for our CJDS play area.

LIFECYCLES
In our community, at every point, our families are perpetually entering new stages in their lives. In keeping with the tradition of living Jewishly, CJDS acknowledges, honors, and celebrates these moments: Births, B’nei Mitzvah, graduations, marriages, and in moments of illness, healing and loss.
MI SH'BERACH
When a member of the CJDS family is ill or in need of healing, the entire community lends its support and its prayers for a full and complete recovery.
We wish our CJDS dear friend and community volunteer,
Steve Shkolnik,
a speedy recovery.
MAY THEIR MEMORY BE A BLESSING

KESHER: CJDS Parent Organization

If it could be you, please click below.
Thank you!

As in the past, we are so grateful to all the help from the community members - grandparents, friends, parents, and others – on whom we rely to serve hot lunch to our students. Our volunteers bring such a warmth and love to our students and we love having all of you! In order to make this sign-up process even more smooth this year,
we would love each family (any family member or friend) to sign up for two dates during the whole year to serve lunch. It can be a parent, a grandparent, a special friend - anyone who is interested in spending time with our wonderful students and serving them food.
