     Overview The Beth Ami-CCHJ Jewish Cultural School (formerly known as Sunday School) serves children ranging in age from Kindergarten through Seventh grade. The program strives to impart and share a positive Jewish identity by presenting Jewish traditions, history, culture, values, and ethics through a humanistic and secular lens. We want our children to develop both self-esteem and respect for others, to take responsibility for their own actions and understand the value of community service. We encourage our students to be problem solvers and be able to think for themselves.
Parent Participation Parents sign up to provide snacks and drinks for the classroom on a rotating basis. The schedule is posted under the Schedule tab above. Each school session begins as a group to establish community and share the holidays and customs. After this introduction, the classes will split up by age for the remainder of the school day. With the exception of the first 20 minutes of class which are used for review of the previous class and previewing the day's units, parent are welcome to observe other units and to help out with the craft activities.
Parents are welcome to share a special event or knowledge. Please feel
free to talk to us and set up a time for an activity that you may wish to do
with the class.
Parents are also welcome and encouraged to participate in overall school
planning and administration through the Beth Ami-CCHJ Education Committee.
