Mitzvah Projects for Grade-Level Shabbat Dinners
Beth Israel Religious School has been blessed with an active corps of room parents
over the years. We are very interested in your participation. If
you have an interest please contact Rhona
Gordon in the Religious School office.
Room Parents are the primary liaisons between teachers and parents. This is
a great way to meet other parents and demostrate to your child how important
their religious school is.

School events.

parents. They contact parents to convey information about events, to solicit
parent participation and material contributions to enhance classroom learning.

that bring parents, teachers and families together to enhance the sense of
community at the Religious School.
