Spotlights on...
It was an honor for us to host over 100 attendees at last Sunday’s PJA Work for the World Fair, an event inspired by the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Every adult and child in attendance made a difference in our local and global community today.
March is proving to be an exciting month for our 1st grade artists! After demonstrating respectful use of the art studio over the winter, 1st graders voted overwhelmingly to explore papier-mâché as their art reward.
Yesterday we celebrated PJA’s first-ever Yom HaIvrit (Hebrew Day)! Our dedicated Hebrew teaching team worked together to envision and plan a day where the Hebrew language took center stage in our festivities.
Today we are Spotlighting a special first-grade activity coordinated by Safranit Molly, PJA’s full-time, certified librarian. Molly is an essential collaborative partner for teachers in every grade.
The third grade teachers at PJA asked their students a BIG question: "What does it mean to 'build our world' and what happens when we build it together?" This question opened up many conversations and led to interesting new questions.
In keeping with our middot (values) of limmud (study) and akhrayut (responsibility), Matt Rosenberg is equipping our Middle School students with the skills needed to identify online misinformation and disinformation.
There were so many stories of devastation, damage, injuries, and frustrations resulting from the winter storms, but thankfully, there were also many stories of resilience, kindness, gratitude, and caring for one another.
The PJA community returned to school on Tuesday and walked beneath the beautiful installation of our 2023/24 Kehillah community art project.
