Friday's "Books and Bagels" was a special opportunity for SMNS to recognize and celebrate our awesome dads, grandparents, and special guests. Thank you to everyone who joined us for a memorable morning together.

The perfect day for ice cream-inspired art! We had so much fun identifying shapes, painting flavors of different colors and adding toppings. Shabbat Shalom!

Welcome to the beach! Our pre-schoolers were excited to transform their dramatic play area into a summer-themed oasis with sand, buckets, and shovels, sea life, a fishing area, life guard stand, the ambiance of the waves (with help from a screen and projector) and of course, the Temple Shell-om ice cream shop.

Kicking-off our first day of water play and the start of our SMNS Summer Program! ☀️💦 😎

We are so proud of all you've learned, how much you've grown, and all you've accomplished at SMNS. 🎓✨Thank you to our wonderful families, teachers and clergy for celebrating this memorable day with us. Shabbat Shalom.

Working in small groups to practice coding and sequencing with our Bee-Bots! The children programmed these friendly floor robots in the STEAM Lab to move in different directions to reach their destination, showing in real time cause and effect.

Following today's school-wide Shabbat with Rabbi Mitch, our 3's and 4's enjoyed a karaoke-style dance party to celebrate a wonderful year with their teachers and friends. Shabbat Shalom!
