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! ...

His mistakes catch up with him in a serious way!!!           ...

Eleven Rashi Middle School students will be participating in the Massachusetts State Middle School Drama Festival this weekend.  The Festival is held at 6 different sites across Eastern MA.  We will be at the Dover Sherborn Middle School site on Sunday, May 7th at 2PM.  Our one Act Play, "Skidmarks, A Play About Driving" by Lindsey Price was chosen by the Middle School Festival Elective as one of three possible choices.  The entire elective is student run with Bonny, the Director and Mike, the Tech Director acting as advisors on the process. The students choose the show, cast the show, design the show and stage the show.  The students have learned how difficult it is to a choose a show that has enough to do for all the actors, designers and technicians.  Many of the Grade 8 students have leadership positions such as the Stage Manager or the Student Stage Director, but even some of the Grade 6 or 7 students have taken on the job of coordinating costumes and ...
