Parent Association

The KSDS Parent Association’s mission recognizes and supports the priorities of nurturing our growing children and achieving excellence in general and Jewish education.

To these ends, the Association’s goals are:

  • To create a community among the students, parents, alumni, teachers, and administrators of the Krieger Schechter Day School by welcoming, and reaching out to all our families, providing opportunities for social and cultural interaction, and offering support to individuals in our community at times of need.

  • To support the mission of the school by sponsoring extracurricular activities that enhance our children’s learning experiences; by funding enrichment activities, supplies and equipment not normally available; and by providing support to faculty and staff through direct volunteer service.

  • To work in partnership with Chizuk Amuno Congregation and the Krieger Schechter Day School to provide maximum opportunities for learning and growth among the children of the school, their parents, faculty, and staff to produce well-educated American Jews who value their religious heritage, the democratic ideals of the United States, and our Jewish homeland, Eretz Yisrael.

Hesed Committee

 

One of the unique qualities of life at KSDS is the way in which we live our Jewish values.  Among these values, one tenet that we hold especially dear is that of Hesed (kindness). Combining the best of our Jewish ideals, the Hesed committee blends: tikkun olam (repairing our world), bikur holim(visiting the sick) and tzedakah (assistance).  As such, the Hesed committee of KSDS identifies and supports our families in need.

 

Unlike other committees of our PA, the Hesed “committee” is made up of every member of our parent community.  The responsibility falls to all of us to support our fellow KSDS families.  To that end, if you are aware of anyone in our community facing challenges, please bring it to the attention of the PA executive board – Jessica Alperstein or Stacy Forman at [email protected].  They will convey the information to the most appropriate person at KSDS, in order to ensure that a family gets the support and services that they need.

 

Thank you for your role in making KSDS a compassionate and caring Jewish community.
