Sunday, May 18 is the last class of our school this year. In the time-honored tradition of Eitz Chayim, we are serving a Last Sundae--ice cream with the works! We hope parents can be present from 10:30 onward for a short program where their children will receive certificates for the year and have time to take in some of the children's work from the year. This is a time to thank our teachers and all the school staff as well. Sundaes will be served toward the end of the school day.
