Our Upper School mothers and daughters gathered for a beautiful evening of challah baking, prayer, and community as we prepare for Rosh Hashanah.

There is something so special about coming together across generations to welcome a sweet new year. 🍎🍯

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this meaningful evening and to our wonderful Upper School Judaics team for making it happen! Shana Tova! 💕

A huge thank you to Sam Salz for spending the day with our Bulldogs! From sharing his story of being proudly Jewish while playing Division I football to getting out on the field with our students, Sam reminded our kids to dream big, work hard, and always be proud of who you are.

Thank you for inspiring the next generation of Jewish athletes and leaders ❤️💙

From ECP to Upper School, it’s been all smiles since we returned to campus. ❤️💙 📚✏️

Leo R ‘27 was selected to attend Texas Boys State, one of the nation’s premier leadership and civic education programs sponsored by the American Legion.

Each year, approximately 1,100 rising high school seniors from across Texas are chosen to participate in this immersive week-long experience, where students build and operate a model state government while developing leadership, public speaking, and civic engagement skills.

Representing American Legion Post #53 in East Dallas, Leo was one of just five students selected from more than 100 applicants interviewed by the post. During the program, he distinguished himself by earning his party’s nomination for Texas Railroad Commissioner, one of the state’s highest elected offices in the Boys State government.

Leo’s accomplishment reflects his leadership, initiative, and willingness to step confidently into new challenges. We are proud to celebrate this outstanding achievement and look forward to seeing all that he accomplishes in the future.
