My name is Nancy Weiss,
and I am the new Education Vice President at CSH. I held this position on the
board of directors several years ago and am excited to be able to help the
school once again. Although I do not have any children in the school anymore,
my sons aged 22 and 19 were students at CSH since we moved here from Chicago in
2001. I am a pediatric occupational therapist in Clear Lake so still have many
young children in my life. I am very much looking forward to working again with
our fantastic School Director, Katy Izygon, and to putting together a new
Education Committee. Please consider serving with me.
Important news:
First, a big TODAH RABAH to all the
parents who came out and participated at the Pesach school celebration with
their children. It was a lot of fun for all ages, and it makes such an impact
on your kids to have you by their side. We look forward to more and more family
events to share.
On April 25 at 6:00pm, during
school time, we will be celebrating Yom Ha’atzmaut, Israeli Independence Day.
There will be games, Israeli food and presentations to the students about
Israel. Please make sure they come to school and learn about this very
important holiday!
Teacher Appreciation will be held
at the family services Friday May 4th at 7:00pm. Please come with
your children and give a well-deserved thank you to their teachers who work so
hard to give your children the best Jewish education they can.
Early bird School Registration is
beginning held from Sunday May 6th through May 20th. Forms
will be available at the synagogue. Please remember that you must be in good
standing financially in order to register your student. We need you to register
early so we can count the number of children to plan for the coming school
year.
The last day of school will be May
20th. Immediately following school will be the Congregation Picnic
at Frankie Carter Randolph Park in Friendswood. This is such a fun event, and
it’s not just for the kids! We hope to see you there.
Please mark
your calendars for May 25th and join us as we celebrate Shabbat with
our Confirmation class leading the service. This is a very unique and moving service
as our young adults confirm their commitment to Judaism. Let’s give them our
support.
And the
last dates to announce include no school
on Mother’s Day, Sunday May 13th, and the first day of school
for the new school year will be September 9th. A full school
calendar is being developed right now and will be available at the synagogue
and on the CSH website very soon.
