Shanah Tovah



"A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new."  ~Albert Einstein


Shanah Tovah and Happy 5770!

Not being one to ever fore-go the opportunity to try something new, and/or possibly make a mistake along the way, I have decided to create this new blog as a way to share with you things happening at the elementary and middle schools of the Jess Schwartz Jewish Community Day School.  

Maybe it will be a few brief words about an upcoming holiday (such as my next posting about Sukkot), or maybe it will be about something that took place on campus today.  Maybe it will be a quote from one of the students, those great words of wisdom that come "out of the mouth of babes", or maybe it will be a shared learning that will help us all grow in our Judaism, our spirituality, or simply as a citizen of the world.  Whatever the topic, I hope you not only enjoy the post with its intended sentiment, but I deeply hope that you will share your own thoughts and ideas as we use this blog to grow together and ultimately to make our school the place we all desire it to be. 

Shanah tovah, and may it be as sweet as the honey in which we dip our Rosh Hashanah apples. 

Shavuah tov.
