WELCOME BACK!
W e look forward, IY”H, to a wonderfully
productive year! It’s been great having
everyone together again, and exciting to get to know
new classmates. We’re busy building our classroom
communities, settling into productive routines of
learning, and through the inspiration of the month of
Elul, getting ourselves ready for the upcoming Yomim
Tovim.

O ur Hot
Lunch
Program
began this
week. Please
remember to
post your
menus in a
prominent
place at
home, and
mark the days you ordered lunch for
your children.
Please note: It is not possible to
rely on the school to provide lunch for
your child(ren) on the days that you
did not order from the Hot Lunch
Program but forgot to send lunch
from home. We cannot sell lunches
“on the spot”, as lunch orders are
placed with the caterer at least one
week in advance - and we do not
order extra meals.
If you have not already placed
an order for this cycle, you will have
that opportunity for the next lunch
cycle, which begins on December 3.
Please remember that
Mondays and Wednesdays are “meat
days”, so children who bring their own
lunch may bring meat lunches only on
those days. Remember to send
pareve snacks on those days as well.
HOT LUNCH PROGRAM
A ll of those hard
working children who
have completed their
Summer Review Packet
should bring their
booklets in to their Torah
Studies teacher by
Tuesday.

Erev Shabbos Parashas Netzavim-Vayeilech 5773
Dear Parents,
The first few weeks of the school year stimulate discussions of our children’s hopes and dreams for the year. Some say they want to learn how to be better at making friends, some dream of improving their bas-ketball skills and some want to improve in reading Rashi. The excitement and nervousness of entering a new situation, dealing with new personalities, and anticipating more challenging learning tasks are part of the experience that heralds a year ahead of growth, maturation and development in character as well as academics.
The same should hold true for the parents. As adults, we may have stopped growing physically, but we can never stop growing spiritually, emotionally or intellectually. Our children will respect us and learn so much more from us when they see us learning and trying to improve. Just as telling children “do as I say, not as I do,” is hypocritical and ultimately counterproductive to their development as a mentsch, so too is coercing a child to attend school, to be a diligent student and to complete homework while the parent is lax about learning , about attending shiurim, and about working on self-improvement. If you want your kid to grow, you must be growing yourself.
School may be only for kids, but learning is for everyone. We, as parents, need to commit now, at the start of the school year and less than a week before Rosh Hashana, to rededicate ourselves to Torah learning, to setting solid goals for the entire year. Just as your children’s teachers have a curriculum to guide them through the year, we adults need to consider at the outset – what are our learning goals for the week, for the month and for the year.
Families that celebrate learning at any level, and respect Torah and secular knowledge have a better op-portunity to produce children who are successful in school – not because they’re smarter or have more facts in their head, but because their children are enabled to be excited about learning and to love the pro-cess of learning new things. Attitude is a small thing that’s very important. And the children’s attitude be-gins with what they see and experience at home.
Best wishes to all of us for a successful journey in the year ahead.
Kesiva V’Chasima Tova!
May this last Shabbos of the year be filled with learning, Simcha and Nachas,
Rabbi Kalman Baumann
Principal
