Parent Committee
The CJDS Parent Committee is involved in supporting the entire CJDS school community, from welcoming new families at the beginning of the year, to its “Parents Nights Out” events to coordinating opportunities for families to do social action activities together. The Chesed (kindness) Committee provides a support for families in times of sorrow and times of joy, arranging for meals, playdates, carpools and other assistance. Fundraising activities include the Rosh HaShannah honey sale, Jewel Days, Box Tops for Education, selling books for Hanukkah, and selling Hamentaschen on Purim. Finally, the Parent Committee thanks our teachers and staff through the Staff Appreciation Breakfast and coordinating holiday and end-of-year gifts from all of our families.
Our Parent Committee this year is chaired by Chava Alpert and Alina Groth.
I can not describe the joy I felt this morning, watching my first grade son read Torah for the first time. Watching him chant his parsha with confidence and ease, surrounded on the bimah with his classmates and teacher. It certainly tops the list as one of those precious moments of parenthood that will stay with me forever.

I love that every day my children wake up excited to go to school and come home bursting with enthusiasm, eager to talk about their day.
Cortney C., CJDS parent
I am so often amazed (and pleased) by the knowledge my 3rd grade grandson has absorbed! I also appreciate the way he loves to go to school...nothing like his grandpa!
Don Z., CJDS grandparent
I love that our son has so many opportunities to really get to know children in different grades.
Ann L., CJDS Parent
We are really amazed by the community at the school. We feel like the teachers and other families have really made an effort to get to know all of us and our daughter on many different levels.

Not only are our children making friends for life, but so are my husband and I.

As a Jewish professional, I feel thankful for the dedicated teachers who instill the love of Jewish learning in a new generation of students. As a parent, I feel blessed by it.
