We all need a little TEFILLAH in our lives, so we're sending it out to you! Tefillah videos will be posted each Thursday on the new HUB (for parents), Schoology (for middle school), and SeeSaw (for lower school). Check out today's Virtual Tefillah #1 now! Parents! Please share with us what you're experiencing at home with your kids as we all tackle distance learning together. Capture your kids "at school" with an image or video and add a caption. What is your role? What does this mean to you? How are you doing? All submissions are welcome - humorous or serious - you decide. Share as many moments as you like - and have fun with this!
On Monday afternoon, the third grade trout babies (fry) were released from their classroom aquarium. Jeff, Arie, and Hadassah took great care to gently launch the youngsters into the next phase of their life as wild trout navigating the waters of the Marin Watershed District. Jeff was happy to report that they released 30 healthy little fish - a record number!
