Stories @ CSI

Thank you to all the families who helped make our first day of Machaneh Shai a great one this past weekend! It was beautiful to gather as one Machaneh Shai community to celebrate Havdalah and kick off the year. Students enjoyed connecting with old friends and making new ones. Each class created a class brit, covenant, setting intentional expectations for the year. We explored Rosh Hashanah by exploring symbols through drama and art. Check out photos from our morning here. 

Highlight on Pre-K and K:

We learned about the Jewish value of haveirut, friendship. Each student shared one way they can be a good friend and drew self-portraits for our Haveirut Friendship Wall. Everyone left with at least one friend in the class. 

Highlight on Seventh Grade:

We dove into our first unit of the year, discussing what it means to be a Jewish adult and what it means to have a Jewish soul.
