The Parents Council welcomed the MDS community back with an unforgettable afternoon of fun for all ages! Over 400 people gathered on Sunday, September 8, for a lively swag and spirit bash, bringing incredible energy that will carry through the year. Attendees enjoyed a variety of creative activities, including airbrushing designs on water bottles, decorating pencil cases and beading sweatshirts. Both children and parents danced to favorite Jewish and Israeli tunes, filling the event with joy. The fun continued with a delicious smashburger dinner, followed by creative candy sushi desserts and Rita’s Ices to wrap up the day. It was a fantastic time of connection and celebration for the entire MDS community, with fun had by all!

A special thank you goes to the Back to School Bash committee chairs: Bari Erber, Danielle Goldman and Mindy Pfefferman. The Parents Council extends heartfelt gratitude to the entire committee for organizing such a wonderful opening event. It was the perfect kick-off, filled with ruach, for what promises to be a fantastic year ahead!
