Education Committee

The Education Committee works with the school to enhance the learning experience for students and parents. Our discussions continue to center on parent programs, the relationship between religious school and home, technology, and a wide range of other topics.

A few years ago, we initiated the Sunday morning Parent Cafe as a time and space for coffee, reading the Sunday papers, and meeting other parents. The Parent Cafe now has become a regular part of Sunday mornings at Beth Emet. Last year, we worked with the Beth Emet professional staff on a curriculum review.

One of our very visible projects is the Shabbat Bag Family program, now in its fourth year, for first and second grade Religious School families. This program is led by Andrea Stone Zuckert. Shabbat bag journals from the 1998-1999 school year can be found on this page.
