Spotlight on High School

With 15 out of 20 students we spent our Sunday studying the relationship between Judaism and Nature. We examined the spirituality inherent in the natural world. On April 26th we will be gathering to spend a day long retreat in Cincinnati exploring this topic. The class is also going to have a year end celebration.

Bob the Builder Boxes
Capital Campaign Contest K-12

Please encourage your students to bring in their Bob the Builder boxes filled with money for the Capital Campaign. All money is due by April 27. Two prizes will be awarded: one for the class with all the filled boxes turned in first; one for the class with the most money collected in the boxes. The winners will enjoy a pizza party in May.

Money will be collected and recorded every Sunday along with the dates collected. Those who have already donated have been recorded and will be counted towards the prizes.

The name of every student who contributes to this contest will be included on a board of Bob the Builder donors :-)

Thank you for your support!
