We welcomed our incoming 1st graders at Sha’ar HaPrachim (Flower Gate). During this special ceremony, inspired by a tradition practiced in Israel, teachers greeted students and their families as they walked through a beautiful floral arch. To mark their first day in Lower School, each child was gifted a flower by a 4th grade student, The moment was made even more meaningful with live violin music played by our Lower School music teacher, Ms. Foran. We honored these young learners with music, love, and Jewish joy! 🌸🦅🌼

Lower School students had a blast at their Enrichment Cluster showcases this spring! Enrichment Clusters let students explore advanced topics based on their interests, learn from experts, collaborate on final projects, and share them with the each other. Some of these showcases included an Israeli dance show, a “magical molecules” slime tutorial, a performance of “Jack and the Magic Beanstalk,” animal art creations, a puppet show, and so much more! These hands-on experiences help students discover their unique talents and develop their full potential. 🎭🧪🎨
