ANNOUNCEMENTS

New Year, New Name and New Logo!
You may have noticed that the @Wornick newsletter is now titled Wornick Weekly and we have added our new logo specifically designed to honor our 30th year. Thanks to your feedback, and as part of our mission to reduce the amount of emails coming your way, we have combined our prior Monday Memo and @Wornick into a single newsletter, which will go at at the beginning of each school week. If you have submissions for Wornick Weekly, please email them to Martha Kokes at mkokes@wornickjds.org no later than noon the previous Thursday.

 

Wornick is turning 30 years old this year!

We hope that you will join us in celebrating all that our school has accomplished in the last three decades. We have been working hard on planning a variety of events to commemorate this milestone. 

  • September 23: Community Shabbat and Birthday Celebration. Kick off our 30th birthday with Shabbat dinner, cake and a rousing chorus of “Happy Birthday”!
  • November 6: Tikkun Olam Event. Wornick joins together to give back to the broader community as we reaffirm the spirit of Tikkun Olam.
  • February 25: Wornick 30th Celebration. It’s our big birthday bash! Celebrate with us as we toast both our past and future achievements.
  • April Mural Painting Days and Unveiling: Our celebration culminates with the unveiling of our new community mural on April 30, lovingly created by our Wornick friends and families.

WORDS OF WISDOM

Dr. Gereboff's Head Notes: Welcome Back

Dr. Gereboff rejoices in the return of our students and comments on the powerful role that positive emotions play in our emotional growth and happiness. After you read her blog, let’s try an experiment: What three things happened today that made you feel grateful? Send your list to mkokes@wornickjds.org and we’ll find a way to share them (anonymously, if you prefer) with our school community.
