“It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.”

- Albert Einstein

We think our teachers do a great job!

If this isn'a the best add for Sunday school...

Toy Drive (Send Toys)

There will be children who will go without this holiday season. Shir Hadash Sunday school would like to help shrink that number by partnering with the JCC in collecting new toys and giving them to children less fortunate than our own...

Toys! Toys! Toys! Please send new toys appropriate for infants through Kindergarten and we will make sure they get to the JCC, who will distribute them accordingly. We will have a box set up in the front of the school for your convenience. 

Hanukkah Lights and Miracles

Please make sure to attend our highlighted Hanukkah Lights and Miracles service on Friday, November 22nd. This short, very musical service will include your children.  Each grouping of grades will have the opportunity to sing and dance to an amusing Hanukkah tune. The students have a great time and always enjoy the glow sticks (who doesn't?).

Bagels for Sale (Send Money Mom and Dad)

Many of you have taken advantage of our Bagels and Coffee Corner on Sunday mornings.  We are thrilled to raise money for our youth and at the same time offer a great snack for many on-the-go families.  If you come to school by 9:00 a.m., you will have time to eat a scrumptious bagel and drink a hot cup of coffee before joining services.  We also offer a cart outside of the sanctuary for those last-minute, unfinished bagels to wait for their rightful owners. Bagels may also be purchased for snacks and eaten later in the morning.

Bonding Opportunity

Many of our members with older children will tell you that some of their happiest, most meaningful  moments were spent at Shabbat services with their children. Let's work on making those memories for our younger children...

Friday, November 15th will be a special Shabbat service led by the Gan Yeladim, First, Second, and Third graders (Rabbi Eitan too!). This service is quite fun and a chance for the children to get used to standing on the bima and leading the prayers they are working on in Sunday school.  We also get to bless our children and sing some songs together. Please let me know if you are interested in hosting a pre-service pizza dinner in our beautiful kitchen, it's really fun and a great way to start a family tradition. This is a great opportunity for bonding with other Shir Hadash families--don't miss out.
