Did you know that the Rashi School has been a member of The Massachusets Educational Theater Guild since 2003? The Rashi Middle School Theater Company has been participating in the State Drama Festival for over 14 years. We have had over 40 Rashi Middle School students stand and receive an All-Star Recognition Award at the festival over the years, in the areas of Acting, Lighting Design, Scenic Design, Sound Design and even 2 students as Live Musicians! There are over 40 Middle Schools around the state that participate and Rashi is one of the Host Sites for the Festival this year! The exciting part of festival is watching other Middle Schools perform and knowing that in is almostly completely student run. If you haven't seen a festival come and visit on Sunday, April 28th from 9 AM - 6 PM.

Week of October 10th Ask your child... 1) ...about the beekeeper visit 2) What is something that you learned about the honeybees? 3) about the Simchat Torah celebration! 4) What does it mean to "dress" the Torah? 4) Who are Bar and Shira? Happy 6th birthday Berkeley! Brigit Deveerd, a Beekeeper, showing us the veil she puts on to protect herself. Smelling the honeycomb was delicious! The bees were not as scary when they are in a jar. The honey tasted delicious! Bar and Shira, our Shin Shimim
From Boston to Israel with Love! by Stephanie Rotsky and Ellen Berkowitz The entire Rashi School community got involved in sending love, encouragement, sweet new year's wishes and a spirited affirmation that we are thinking about you to families living in the southern region of Israel. CJP's initiative - Sweet Wishes for a Sweeter New Year - engaged students and families all over the Greater Boston area during the High Holidays in reaching out and showing our enduring connection and support for Israel & her people through heart-felt beautiful new year's cards. It was a privilege to be in every classroom last month to work with students and teachers to create these cards for Israeli families. Might we even say it felt like a sacred moment... Dena Rashes, Rashi parent and CJP Israel participant, will be part of an upcoming mission to help hand- deliver these new year's cards to families living in southern Israel. Thank you, Dena! ...
