Scouts Information Session Recap & Recording
Thank you to everyone who attended our Scouts Information Session on this past Tuesday evening. We greatly appreciate your interest and engagement as we explore this exciting new program for our students and community.
For those who were unable to join us, we have made a recording of the meeting available here. We are also sharing a PDF copy of the presentation which is available below. This will give you the opportunity to learn more about the plans and vision for the program, which we aim to launch in the Fall of 2024.
To help us shape the best possible Scouts experience for our community, we will be sending out a survey within the next two weeks. Your input is invaluable and will guide us in understanding the needs and preferences of our families and what can be offered.
Thank you for your support and participation. We look forward to your feedback and to building a program that will enrich the lives of our students and community members!
Knesset in Action!
The OJCS Knesset Executive and Grade Representatives have been busy discussing and planning the monthly Dress Down Days along with ideas for school ruach! Dr. Mitzmacher came to visit at our first meeting to say a big welcome to the new 2018-2019 Knesset.
President and Vice-President, Daniel and Ari, led a great team building activity last week and discussed with the group ways to be a positive leader in the school. Grade representatives have been collecting ideas from their classes too to bring to the next Knesset meeting.
In October our Dress Down Day funds went toward the Ottawa Kosher Food Bank. We raised a total of $208! Throughout the month student brought in non-perishable food donations as well and we filled 5 bins in our school lobby!
For the month of November our Dress Down Day funds will be donated to the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh to show our support. Students in Mr.Washerstein’s classes have been writing cards to send with our Dress Down Day funds at the end of the month to the families affected by the shooting.
Getting Started!
Welcome to our Student Life blog!
Wow. We have had a busy start to the school year. We are thrilled to share all exciting happenings in our school, such as: the first OJCS Middle School Retreat (check out our retreat video here), our first Rosh Chodesh assembly of the year, our amazing Sukkah Hop run by the Shinshinim, Terry Fox Run, reading buddies, Knesset elections, the soccer season (GO RAMS GO!), first field trips of the year, and much more!
This blog will be primarily run by the OJCS Knesset (now that they have been elected!). On the page you can find pictures, videos, and posts about all the ruach in the building!
