Celebrating Yom Ha'atzmaut and Kindergarten Graduation

May 14, 2024

Today, we gathered as a community to celebrate two remarkable events: Yom Ha'atzmaut and our Kindergarten Graduation. The joy and pride on our children’s faces as they performed and looked out at the room filled with parents and grandparents will be a cherished memory for years to come.


The ceremony began with delightful performances from each class. Our students sang heartfelt songs, and we even spotted some great dancers there, showcasing their talents and enthusiasm for this special day.. Following these wonderful performances, we proceeded with the graduation ceremony. Each Kindergarten graduate received their certificate, marking a significant milestone in their young lives. The excitement and happiness in the room were palpable as each child was recognized for their hard work and achievements.


After the ceremony, we engaged in a meaningful project titled "Wall of Hope." Each child, alongside their parents, colored a "תקווה" (Hope) picture. These beautiful artworks will adorn a wall in our school, symbolizing our collective hope for a better future. Our school is proud to be part of an international initiative, sending some of these paintings to Israel to contribute to a global Wall of Hope. This project is especially significant in these times, reminding us all of the power of unity and shared aspirations for peace.


Following the creative session, our children enjoyed a delicious Israeli lunch, featuring falafel, Israeli salad, hummus, tahini, and pita. The smiles and laughter during lunch were a testament to the fun and joy of the day.


To our graduating Kindergarteners: We wish you a future filled with endless possibilities and success. Always remember the joy of today and the love that surrounds you.


To Israel, on its 76th Yom Ha'atzmaut: We celebrate with hearts full of hope and pride, wishing for continued growth, peace, and prosperity.


Enjoy the wonderful pictures from today’s event below. They capture the spirit and happiness that filled our school. Thank you for being part of this special day and for helping us create lasting memories and a hopeful future for our children.

Music, Meaning, and Hands-On Fun As the mornings grow colder and the days shorter, the light of Chanukah reminds us of the miracles, big and small, that brighten our lives. This week, our school came alive with that light as we welcomed grandparents, parents, and special guests to celebrate together. It was a beautiful reminder of the connections that bind us as a community.
