| Desc | PARDES JEWISH DAY SCHOOL: EDUCATING THE WHOLE CHILDTHE KNOWLEDGE AND VALUES WE INSTILL IN YOUNG MINDS LASTS A LIFETIME. PARDES HAD 279 STUDENTS ENROLLED AT THE END OF THE 2017-18 SCHOOL YEAR, WITH 50 MEMBERS OF THE PARDES FACULTY PROVIDING INSTRUCTION IN SECULAR AND JEWISH STUDIES. WE GRADUATED 27 STUDENTS FROM 8TH GRADE, WHO WENT ON TO ATTEND HIGH SCHOOLS INCLUDING PHOENIX COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL, BROPHY, THE DESERT MOUNTAIN IB PROGRAM, PINNACLE HIGH SCHOOL, CHAPARRAL HIGH SCHOOL AND HORIZON HIGH SCHOOL. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)ACADEMIC LIFE IN THE 2017-2018 SCHOOL YEAR, PARDES WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE ITS COMMITMENT TO PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR ITS FACULTY, SENDING TEACHERS TO THE READING AND WRITING INSTITUTE AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY. WE ALSO SENT FACULTY TO THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE SPONSORED BY THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION, ALONG WITH THE SCHOOLOGY NEXT CONFERENCE AS WELL AS ACSD. WE ALSO HAD TEACHERS PARTICIPATE IN MAKERSPACE TRAINING, WILSON TRAINING, AND SPANISH EDUCATION TRAINING. IN ADDITION, A MEMBER OF THE JEWISH STUDIES FACULTY ATTENDED THE NEW TEACHER INSTITUTE OFFERED BY THE JEWISH THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY. ON JANUARY 8TH, ALL PARDES FACULTY AND STAFF PARTICIPATED IN A HIGHLY ANTICIPATED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM ON EFFECTIVE 21ST CENTURY PROJECT BASED LEARNING, IMPLEMENTATION OF THE GLOBAL MAKER MOVEMENT, AND LEARNING BY DOING. DR. GARY STAGER, AN INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED EDUCATOR, SPEAKER, AND CONSULTANT, TOOK THE FACULTY AND STAFF ON A TEAM-BUILDING JOURNEY AS THEY EXPERIENCED FIRSTHAND WHAT IT MEANS TO "PUT THE LEARNER AT THE CENTER OF THE LEARNING PROCESS AND WHAT PIAGET TRULY MEANT WHEN HE SAID, "KNOWLEDGE IS A CONSEQUENCE OF EXPERIENCE." PARDES FACULTY AND STAFF WILL CONTINUE TO STRIVE TO ANSWER THE OVERARCHING QUESTION OF, "HOW CAN WE MAKE THE SCHOOL DAY THE BEST SEVEN HOURS OF A STUDENT'S LIFE EVERY DAY?" CONSTRUCTIVISM IS CERTAINLY ALIVE AND THRIVING AT PARDES JEWISH DAY SCHOOL. THIS YEAR, PARDES JEWISH DAY SCHOOL INCORPORATED A TED-ED CLUB INTO THEIR 21ST CENTURY LEARNING CURRICULUM. WITH A NETWORK OF OVER 3,000 CLUBS IN 115 COUNTRIES, THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION IS TO EFFECTIVELY EMPOWER THE WORLD'S YOUTH TO SPEAK UP ON ISSUES THAT ARE TRULY IMPORTANT TO THEM. THE PROGRAM PROVIDES SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS TO DISCOVER AND EXPLORE THEIR AREAS OF INTEREST AND THEN PRESENT THEM THROUGH TED-STYLE TALKS. THIS YEAR, SEVENTH GRADE STUDENTS MET TWICE A WEEK, AND ALL CREATED FABULOUS PRESENTATIONS. ONE PARDES STUDENT'S TED-ED CLUB TALK WAS SO WELL DONE IT WAS SELECTED BY THE ORGANIZATION, APPEARING ON THEIR WEBSITE. THE SCHOOL CONTINUES TO EXPAND ITS 21ST CENTURY LEARNING CURRICULUM WITH CUTTING EDGE PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO PREPARE AND EMPOWER ITS STUDENTS TO BE THE LEADERS OF TOMORROW. STEAM NIGHT WAS HELD ON THE EVENING OF FEBRUARY 22, 2018, WHERE PARDES FAMILIES WERE DAZZLED BY AN AWE-INSPIRING ASSORTMENT OF INTERACTIVE STUDENT-MADE DISPLAYS IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, ARTS AND MATHEMATICS. THERE WERE HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES FOR ALL AGES INCLUDING AN HOUR LONG INTERACTIVE INTRODUCTION TO UNPLUGGED CODING, CARDBOARD FURNITURE, BUILDING A LEGO MAZE AND RACE, MAKING A HARMONICA, BUILDING BOATS THAT FLOAT AND WILL HOLD THE WEIGHT OF COINS, HOLDING BOOKS UP WITH A PIECE OF PAPER, A CHALLENGE TO USE AXLES AND WHEELS TO BUILD THE FASTEST CAR DOWN RAMP, TWO COLORS FORMING ONE/COLORS-OPTICAL ILLUSIONS, MATH OLYMPIAD PROBLEMS, TURNING EVERYDAY OBJECTS INTO TOUCHPADS, A RUBE GOLDBERG PROJECT WITH THE SCHOOL CHIEF SCIENCE OFFICER (SEE BELOW,) AND MORE. STUDENTS ALSO ENJOYED STARGAZING THROUGH TELESCOPES WITH THE PHOENIX ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY. STEAM IS A CORE COMPONENT OF A PARDES EDUCATION, UTILIZING ACCESS POINTS TO LEARNING AND HELPING GUIDE STUDENT INQUIRY, DIALOGUE, AND CRITICAL THINKING. THE END RESULTS ARE STUDENTS WHO TAKE THOUGHTFUL RISKS, ENGAGE IN EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING, PERSIST IN PROBLEM-SOLVING, EMBRACE COLLABORATION, AND WORK THROUGH THE CREATIVE PROCESS. PARDES IS EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE WE WILL BE INSTALLING A MAKERSPACE ON CAMPUS FOR THE 2018/2019 SCHOOL YEAR. MAKERSPACE IS A MERGER BETWEEN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, ART AND MATH. IT WILL ENABLE STUDENTS TO GATHER TO CREATE, INVENT, TINKER, EXPLORE, AND DISCOVER USING A VARIETY OF TOOLS AND MATERIALS, INCLUDING 3D PRINTERS. MAKERSPACE WILL PROVIDE BOUNDLESS OPPORTUNITIES FOR CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION AND AFFORD STUDENTS THE CHANCE FOR COLLABORATION AND INSPIRATION. IT WILL PREPARE STUDENTS WITH 21ST CENTURY SKILLS, SO EVEN IF THEIR FUTURE CAREER PATH DOES NOT EXIST TODAY, THEY CAN ADAPT AND CHANGE, HAVING THE TECHNOLOGICAL BACKGROUND TO DO SO. THIS YEAR PARDES ONCE AGAIN HAD AN EIGHTH GRADER SERVE AS THE SCHOOL'S CHIEF SCIENCE OFFICER. AS A MEMBER OF ARIZONA'S SPECIAL CSO COHORT OF STUDENT LEADERS, SHE ATTENDED A SUMMER INSTITUTE, CONFERENCES, SEMINARS AND LECTURES, AND LEADERSHIP TRAINING FOCUSED ON STEAM-RELATED ISSUES AND OPPORTUNITIES. SHE THEN TOOK THOSE EXPERIENCES BACK TO SCHOOL TO EDUCATE HER PEERS, HELPING TO ESTABLISH CAMPUS INITIATIVES AND IMPACT POSITIVE CHANGE IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES. AS AN EXAMPLE, IN FEBRUARY SHE MET WITH THE MARICOPA COUNTY AIR QUALITY DEPARTMENT TO LEARN ABOUT ISSUES RELATED TO AIR QUALITY. SHE THEN EDUCATED HER PEERS ABOUT WAYS THEY CAN ALL MAKE A DIFFERENCE. LITERACY WEEK WAS ALSO A HIGHLIGHT OF THE PARDES YEAR. IT WAS A FUN, LITERACY PACKED EXPERIENCE THAT CULMINATED IN OUR ANNUAL LITERACY NIGHT. FROM FEBRUARY 26TH THROUGH MARCH 2ND, STUDENTS ENGAGED IN A WIDE VARIETY OF LITERACY-BASED PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES, TO THE CENTRAL THEME OF DR. SEUSS. LITERACY NIGHT SAW AN ALMOST PERFECT TURN-OUT FOR THIS TIME HONORED EVENT THAT BUILDS FAMILY AND SCHOOL CONNECTIONS, CREATES COMMUNITY SPIRIT AND ENGAGES FAMILIES IN READING AND OTHER LITERACY ACTIVITIES. ADMINISTRATORS WORE COSTUMES AND HELPED FACILITATE EDUCATIONAL LEARNING STATIONS AND ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING AN EXCITING AND INSPIRING ARRAY OF PRESENTATIONS THAT INCLUDED STUDENT TED-ED TALKS, POETRY, RECYCLED ART, PUPPETRY, MUSIC, AND SPORTS EVENTS. AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF LITERACY NIGHT IS GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY. STUDENTS COLLECT ITEMS, BOOKS, AND MONEY TO BE DONATED TO LOCAL CHARITIES OR SCHOOLS. THIS YEAR, PARDES HELPED RAISE MONEY FOR CLASSROOM LIBRARIES AND COLLECTED TOILETRIES FOR A LOCAL WOMEN'S SHELTER. 2017-18 WAS ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR FOR THE FOURTH GRADE ANNUAL PUBLISHERS CONVENTION. EACH STUDENT SELECTED A BOOK TO READ, REVIEW, AND MARKET TO "POTENTIAL BOOKSTORE REPRESENTATIVES". OUR YOUNG PUBLISHERS SET UP THEIR OWN BOOTHS WHICH DISPLAYED IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR BOOK, AND THEY SPOKE WITH VISITING REPRESENTATIVES ABOUT WHY THEY RECOMMEND IT. THE PUBLISHERS CONVENTION IS A VALUABLE HANDS-ON OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS TO CREATIVELY INCORPORATE THEIR ARTISTIC, WRITTEN, AND PRESENTATION SKILLS AND TO GAIN CONFIDENCE IN THEMSELVES. MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS LOOK FORWARD TO ELECTIVES. EACH WEEK THEY PARTICIPATE IN ONE CLASS OF THEIR CHOOSING. IT'S A FUN PACKED WAY TO EXPLORE INDIVIDUAL INTERESTS AND TALENTS. A SAMPLING OF THIS YEAR'S OFFERINGS INCLUDED ART, COMPUTER SCIENCE, E-JOURNALISM, MUSIC, PANTHER CONNECTION, BRAIN BUSTERS, ROBOTICS, ROCK BAND, SPORTS ANALYSIS, STEAM CHALLENGES AND YOGA. PARDES LOWER AND MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS HAD LOTS TO CELEBRATE, WITH MANY SCORES OF 3/5 AND AN IMPRESSIVE NUMBER OF 4/5 AS WELL AS 5/5 IN THIS YEAR'S MATH OLYMPIADS! AN AWARDS PROGRAM WAS HELD DURING ASSEMBLY PERIOD ON MAY 17TH, COMPLETE WITH CERTIFICATES, PINS AND TROPHIES. SPECIAL PROGRAMS WERE HELD THROUGHOUT THE YEAR FOR STUDENTS AS WELL, INCLUDING HOUR OF CODE (A NATION-WIDE PROGRAM,) THE DEMONSTRATION BY A NAVAJO RUG WEAVER, AND OLIVE OIL MAKING IN ADVANCE OF CHANUKAH.JEWISH STUDIES AND JEWISH LIFEPARDES HELD WONDERFUL CELEBRATIONS OF JEWISH HOLIDAYS AND LIFE CYCLE EVENTS ALL THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR. IN ADDITION TO FUN AND FASCINATING PROGRAMS FOR ROSH HASHANAH AND YOM KIPPUR, THERE WERE MANY ACTIVITIES IN THE SUKKAH ALL THROUGHOUT SUKKOT. A SCHOOL-WIDE (DANCE!) PARTY WAS HELD ON THE SPORT COURT, WITH MANY CLERGY FROM THE COMMUNITY JOINING US, TO DANCE WITH THE TORAHS ON SIMCHAT TORAH. THERE WERE CHANUKAH CELEBRATIONS, SEDERS FOR TU B'SHEVAT, PURIM FESTIVITIES, PASSOVER LESSONS IN ALL GRADES AND THE ANNUAL KINDERGARTEN SEDER. A SPEAKER CAME TO TALK TO THE CHILDREN ON YOM HA'SHOAH, AND DELICIOUS FOOD AND CELEBRATION OF ISRAEL ON YOM HA'ATZMAUT. PARDES RESPECTS THE VALUES OF KASHRUT WHICH MEANS OUR PARDES FAMILIES AND THE ENTIRE JEWISH COMMUNITY CAN FEEL COMFORTABLE IN KNOWING EVERYTHING OUR KITCHEN PREPARES IS UNDER KOSHER SUPERVISION OF THE VAAD.

THE BETTER TOGETHER PROGRAM IS A HIGHLY IMPACTFUL PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN PARDES JEWISH DAY SCHOOL AND THE BUREAU OF JEWISH EDUCATION. EIGHTH GRADE STUDENTS CAME TOGETHER WITH SENIORS FROM THE LOCAL JEWISH COMMUNITY DURING THIS MONTHLY LUNCHTIME PROGRAM. THE GOAL IS TO FOSTER MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE GENERATIONS AND TO ENABLE THEM TO LEARN FROM EACH OTHER. STUDENTS LISTEN TO MANY POIGNANT STORIES AND IMPORTANT LIFE EXPERIENCES AND BENEFIT GREATLY FROM OUR SENIORS' WISDOM AND SAGE ADVICE. STUDENT LIFE STUDENTS WERE AGAIN GIVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO ON FIELD TRIPS, BOTH LOCALLY AND OUT OF TOWN. THE KINDERGARTEN CLASS VISITED TOLMACHOFF FARMS WHERE STUDENTS WENT APPLE PICKING IN RECOGNITION OF ROSH HASHANA AND THEIR STUDY OF ORCHARDS. THEY ALSO WENT TO VISIT THE MUSICAL INSTRUMENT MUSEUM AND EVEN THE APPLE STORE.

EIGHTH GRADERS HAD THEIR TREMENDOUS CAPSTONE TRIP THIS YEAR TO NEW YORK CITY AS WELL AS WASHINGTON, D.C. AND EXPERIENCED A ROBUST AND DIVERSE ITINERARY FOR THIS END-OF-PARDES EXPERIENCE. GO PANTHERS! PARDES TAKES ITS SPORTS SERIOUSLY, BUT WITH AN EMPHASIS ON BUILDING CHARACTER AND CONFIDENCE INSTEAD OF JUST WINNING GAMES. EVERY STUDENT WHO SHOWS UP, GIVES THEIR BEST EFFORT, AND DEMONSTRATES GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP GETS TO PLAY. THE SCHOOL'S APPROACH SPEAKS VOLUMES AS IT CONTINUES TO WIN NOT JUST GAMES BUT CHAMPIONSHIPS. PARDES STUDENT COUNCIL HELD VARIOUS EVENTS DURING THE YEAR, INCLUDING AN OFF-CAMPUS WELCOME BACK EVENT, ICE SKATING, SCHOOL DANCES, MOVIE NIGHTS AND AN END-OF-THE-YEAR PARTY. THIS YEAR THE SCHOOL STARTED AFTER-SCHOOL ENRICHMENT PROGRAMMING. THIS IS A GREAT WAY FOR STUDENTS TO EXPLORE THEIR INTERESTS AND TALENTS IN AN AFTER-SCHOOL SETTING. THIS YEAR, STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN CHESS, CODAKID (CODING), MAD SCIENCE, DRAMA AND MODERN ART. IT WAS A FULFILLING EXPERIENCE FOR STUDENTS WHO PARTICIPATED AND HELPED PARENTS WITH MORE AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMMING AS WELL. COLOR WARS IS AN ANNUAL ACTIVITY WHICH IS A HIGHLIGHT OF THE YEAR. THIS ANNUAL WEEK-LONG EVENT HONES CRITICAL LIFE SKILLS, INCLUDING TEAMWORK AND INDIVIDUAL EXPRESSION. COLOR WARS IS ABOUT FINE TUNING EXISTING SKILLS SETS AND GROWING BEYOND EXISTING COMFORT ZONES, REVELING IN SELF-DISCOVERY, AND FINDING ONE'S PLACE AS LEADERS AND TEAM PLAYERS. PEERS EXPLORE NEW AVENUES FOR ESTABLISHING AND REINFORCING RELATIONSHIPS THAT OFTEN LAST A LIFETIME. THE TEAMS INCLUDE CHILDREN FROM MANY DIFFERENT GRADES, AND THEY COMPETE IN A WIDE ARRAY OF FUN AND CHALLENGING ACTIVITIES. MUSIC AND THE ARTS ARE INTEGRAL TO THE PARDES EXPERIENCE.

STUDENTS WERE PROUD TO MEET THIS YEAR'S CHALLENGE. LED BY THE FOURTH GRADE, EACH CLASS SUCCESSFULLY COLLECTED AT LEAST 100 CANS OF FOOD TO BE DONATED TO THE PARADISE VALLEY FOOD BANK, WITH A TOTAL OF OVER 1,000 CANS FROM THE ENTIRE LOWER SCHOOL. PARDES PARTICIPATES IN THE BOX TOPS PROGRAM, WHERE EACH "TOP" EARNS MONEY WE THEN DONATE TO A CHOSEN CHARITY. THE RECIPIENT OF THIS YEAR'S 2017/2018 COLLECTION WAS NECHAMA - A VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION PROVIDING NATURAL DISASTER PREPAREDNESS, RESPONSE AND RECOVERY SERVICES THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES (JEWISH RESPONSE TO DISASTER). ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14TH, PARDES JOINED SCHOOLS NATIONWIDE IN THE #ENOUGH NATIONAL SCHOOL WALKOUT. STUDENTS WALKED OUT OF CLASS FOR 17 MINUTES AT 10:00 A.M.

TOGETHER, THEY HONORED THE MEMORIES OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES. OUR LOWER SCHOOL STUDENTS GATHERED IN THE SANCTUARY TO SING SONGS IN A CELEBRATION OF LIFE. |
| PART III, LINE 4A | CONTINUATION OF PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS: FOR OVER A DECADE, HINEINI, THE ANTI-BULLYING PROGRAM, HAS PLAYED AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN ADDRESSING THE WELL-BEING OF EVERY STUDENT, AND TO ENSURE A SAFE CAMPUS FOR ALL STUDENTS TO LEARN. ALL HOMEROOM CLASSES MEET MONTHLY TO ADDRESS BULLYING AT THE SCHOOL-WIDE, CLASSROOM, INDIVIDUAL AND COMMUNITY LEVELS. THE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO REDUCE BULLYING PROBLEMS, PREVENT NEW BULLYING PROBLEMS FROM HAPPENING AND MAKING RELATIONSHIPS BETTER AMONG STUDENTS. THE MEETINGS VARY IN FOCUS BASED ON GRADE LEVEL AND INCLUDE TOPICS SUCH AS FRIENDSHIP, LEADERSHIP, RESPECT, SOCIAL MEDIA, AND RESPONSIBILITY. DECEMBER'S GIFT DRIVE WAS HUGELY SUCCESSFUL. WORKING IN CONJUNCTION WITH JEWISH FAMILY AND CHILDREN SERVICES, OVER 250 GIFTS WERE DONATED BY OUR FACULTY, STAFF AND PARDES FAMILIES. OUR PARDES COMMUNITY IS GRATEFUL FOR BEING ABLE TO MAKE SO MANY AREA FAMILIES FEEL SPECIAL DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON. PARDES IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR WAYS TO INSTILL THE IMPORTANCE - AND OPPORTUNITIES - INHERENT IN RECYCLING. THE SCHOOL ROUTINELY RECYCLES ALL APPROPRIATE MATERIALS ON CAMPUS. MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS ACTUALLY COLLECT THE MATERIALS IN THE RECYCLE BINS THROUGHOUT THE CAMPUS AND PUT THEM IN THE MAIN BIN FOR PICK UP. OTHER RECYCLING ACTIVITIES HAPPEN DURING THE YEAR. ONE GREAT EXAMPLE WAS ON LITERACY NIGHT, WHEN STUDENTS EAGERLY COLLECTED ITEMS SUCH AS OLD T-SHIRTS FOR A RECYCLING BAG ACTIVITY PLASTIC CONTAINERS FOR ITEMS SUCH AS SOUR CREAM, YOGURT, COTTAGE CHEESE TISSUE BOXES OLD SOCKS BOXES NO LARGER THAN A CEREAL BOX OR SHOE BOX FOOD CANS (NOT SODA CANS) PLASTIC WATER/SODA BOTTLES PAPER TOWEL/TOILET PAPER ROLLS MILK CARTONS BOTTLE CAPS A GREAT DEAL WAS RECYCLED THAT EVENING. RECYCLING IS AN ONGOING OPPORTUNITY TO EMPLOY OUR STUDENTS' IMAGINATIONS AND CREATIVITY. IN DECEMBER, THEY CREATED USABLE CHANUKIYAH FROM MATERIALS FOUND AT HOME. THE ANNUAL PROJECTS ARE ENDLESS! FAMILY EXPERIENCE BACK-TO-SCHOOL NIGHTS WERE HELD FOR LOWER SCHOOL FAMILIES AND MIDDLE SCHOOL FAMILIES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, TO HELP PARENTS UNDERSTAND IN-DEPTH THE PLANS FOR THEIR CHILDREN FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR. THE SCHOOL HOSTED A HIGH SCHOOL INFORMATION NIGHT, WITH REPRESENTATIVES FROM VARIOUS LOCAL HIGH SCHOOLS PROVIDING DETAILS ABOUT THEIR SCHOOLS AS WELL AS HELPING PARENTS UNDERSTAND KEY ISSUES IN THE TRANSITION FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL TO HIGH SCHOOL. TODAY'S CHILDREN ARE PRACTICALLY BORN TECH SAVVY. THEY GET MOST OF THEIR INFORMATION AND SOCIALIZATION FROM THE INTERNET AND FOR THEM, THERE IS LITTLE DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE REAL AND ONLINE WORLD. TO EFFECTIVELY COMMUNICATE WITH THEIR CHILDREN AND ENSURE THEIR ONLINE SAFETY, PARENTS NEED TO THINK OF TECHNOLOGY AS A LANGUAGE. PARDES WAS THRILLED TO PRESENT THE NOT MY KID ORGANIZATION ON THE VITAL TOPIC OF INTERNET SAFETY ON FEB 13. THE INFORMATION WAS INVALUABLE FOR ALL THE FAMILIES WHO WERE ABLE TO ATTEND. WE OFFERED FUN EXPERIENCES AS WELL, SUCH AS THE PANCAKE BREAKFAST THAT BRINGS PARENTS AND STUDENTS TOGETHER FOR A DELICIOUS BREAKFAST BEFORE SCHOOL. THE ANNUAL PARDES GRANDPARENTS' BREAKFAST WAS A WONDERFULLY ATTENDED EVENTS, BRING GRANDPARENTS TO THE CAMPUS WITH THEIR GRANDCHILDREN. ON APRIL 22, PARDES FAMILIES GATHERED FOR A HIKE IN RECOGNITION OF EARTH DAY. EVERYDAY TYPE EVENTS LIKE THESE ARE EXAMPLES OF HOW PARDES CONTINUES TO ENGAGE AND BOND STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES, STRENGTHENING THE PARDES COMMUNITY AND BUILDING BRIDGES TO OUR STUDENTS' FUTURES. STROLLERS, WHEELCHAIRS AND ALL FITNESS LEVELS WERE WELCOMED... AND A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL! PARDES HAS AN OUTSTANDING PARENT ORGANIZATION, KESHER. KESHER, SERVES A PRIMARY GOAL OF CONNECTING OUR STUDENTS, FAMILIES, FACULTY, STAFF AND GREATER COMMUNITY.
