We are so excited to celebrate Purim tomorrow at school! Students are invited to wear a costume to help celebrate this fun holiday! We ask students to not include weapons or masks as part of costumes. In addition, students should be wearing appropriate footwear. Thank you so much for helping your child meet Purim dress code expectations! 

Hi Everyone,

Please ignore my earlier communication about Junior Docent. Unfortunately, Gev. Porat has been fighting a variety of viruses the past two weeks and is currently at home with pneumonia. We hope she feels better soon!

Because of her absence, we have decided to postpone the program. The students were relieved by this news as they would like to spend some more time on their pieces with her before presenting for you! 

As soon we have a new date settled with the MAM we will let you know.

Thank you for understanding.

WOW WOW WOW! I am blown away by your thoughtfulness and generosity. Thank you SO much for the BEST Hanukkah gifts I’ll receive this year- I’m sure of it! You clearly know me well… coffee and a spa day…my dream come true! I can’t wait to drink all of the coffee over break! 

It has been wonderful getting to know your children over the past few months. Your continued support and open and honest communication have been so valuable. I am looking forward to the second half of the year – I know it will be amazing!

I hope you have a healthy, happy and safe winter break! Happy new year!!

Gev. Kimmel 

The details will be shared with students on Thursday – I’ll be encouraging all those interested to enter! 

A Message from Third & Fourth Grade: 

Third and Fourth grade are excited to announce that they have officially kicked off  their Pennies for Patients program. The program will run until Monday, November 8th, 2019. MJDS students will be coming home with their own collection box and a flyer that explains all of the exciting hero gear you can receive by collecting money in your box. This year, we are also encouraging students to set up an online page to receive donations, so that our school can make the biggest impact ever for the mission of LLS. Our goal is to raise $3,000! Each class is setting a goal to raise $300! When heroes work together, we can change cancer!

Why is this program important? Approximately every 3 minutes, someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with blood cancer. Leukemia is the number one most diagnosed form of childhood cancer. The money that we collect will help fund research. The donations will help fund researchers in 7 different countries!

Please fill up your fundraising box and bring it each week on Friday to add to the classroom collection box. To redeem the power ring and hero band, you should bring a signed coupon found on the parent letter along with your donation to school.

As a reminder, you can fundraise online, collect coins, cash and checks in your collection box!

Thank you for participating in Pennies for Patients!
