"Thank you for taking us on a wonderful journey to Shushanland this winter. Your hard work and dedication allowed us to feel connected to our community, which was so important and comforting particularly given the circumstances of this year. You taught Sophie how to show off her brave side and introduced her to the wonderful world of theater. You allowed Jack to expand on the skills he learned from you last year and trusted him to help make your dream a reality. We love you and cannot thank you enough."

"Wow! It was amazing! Kol HaKavod! Not only did you succeed in getting all of these children to participate with joy, but they learned their lines and sang their songs and did it all with more polish than I have ever seen in such young children. And the technology was extraordinary. Can you tell that I was impressed?"

"I would like to thank you for your deep involvement with The Fanaroff Family Lower School Hanukkah Musical. It was a wonderful opportunity for students to highlight their talents and gain a sense of purpose and accomplishment. The Musical is opportunity to put whole-child approach to education we use in action, and I thank you for your enormous contribution in helping the School create a well-rounded environment for our students. I am consistently impressed with the ease and apparent smoothness of the show. I know behind the scenes may be a different story but outwardly the students performed beautifully, everyone was in their place and the families and guests enjoyed themselves. Thank you for investing so much time and energy in this ruach-filled event for the CESJDS community."
