Note for Sunday, September 23rd

Dear Parents,

I will be traveling on behalf of UVA's Admission Office on Sunday, September 23rd and will be unable to attend the Open House at Sunday School that morning given my 6:00am flight. Zack will be there and will be joined by a substitute teacher, Dana. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to email me at mfrazier@virginia.edu. I'll see you all on September 30th.

First Day!

First Day! Israel - What? Where? Who?

We started the year by learning where Israel is and about a few important people that helped establish Israel as it is today. The students "met": Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, Golda Meir, David Ben-Guiron, and Yitzhak Rabin.
