Today, our JPA students had an unforgettable experience as we welcomed visiting musician Shira Moss from Boston for a special drum circle! Each student got to choose an instrument—drums, tambourines, bells, shakers, and more—and had the chance to switch and explore different sounds throughout the session.
With Shira’s guidance, we learned how to create our own rhythms and blend our sounds together as a group, making beautiful music as a community. As we played, we sang familiar songs for Tu B’Shvat, Shabbat, and Shalom Chaveirim, filling the room with energy, joy, and connection.
It was an amazing opportunity to express ourselves through music, work as a team, and celebrate the power of rhythm and song. Thank you, Shira, for an inspiring and musical day!
STA students joined together with the students of JCDS for a week of fun and engaging electives. Children's Choice Week included Cooking, Baking, 3D Printing, Karate, Jewelery making, Sports, Ceramics, Theater, and Gymnastics. The program culminated in a joint lunch at STA, where each elective had a chance to showcase what the students have been enjoying all week. Thank you to Richard and Vivian Cahn for generously sponsoring and spearheading this amazing opportunity for our students!
