Thank you for serving as our children's guides as they make their way through the maze of middle school. You have helped them become more analytical thinkers, and taught them how to listen and take notes in class, how to advocate for themselves, how to understand and express
their areas of strength and room for growth.
You have nurtured each one as they mature through class discussions, school trips, sports and plays, the Shabbaton and the open, welcoming environment you create in school every day. We are so grateful to all of you for partnering with us on this journey. Mazal tov!
