JEC had an incredible fifth grade advancement lunch,which celebrated the students and their journey throughout the JEC Lower School. The students enjoyed a special lunch from Holy Shnitzel with their friends and teachers. Rabbi Beer shared words of chizuk with the message of “chazak v’ematz” as they advance towards middle school. As a beautiful nod to receiving their siddurim back in primer, they are sent off to middle school with pocket Siddurim to keep with them on their way. The program ended with a trip down memory lane as they watched a special slideshow showing how the students have grown from nursery until now. Much hatzlacha in middle school!
