We do this by extending our calendar through the middle of June as well as by running school for three hours on Sunday instead of two. The Education Committee meets monthly, usually on the last Thursday evening of the month, from 8-10 pm. All parents are invited to be a part of the Education Committee and to attend meetings. A highlight of Education Committee meetings is the study session that prefaces each meeting. For information please contact Jeremy Wolfe, Temple Sinai's Vice President for Education, through the School office.
Electives meet every other week for one hour.
Electives offered this year include cooking, game making, orchestra, drama, Hebrew language, newspaper, arts and crafts, film, Israeli dance, and chorus. Temple Sinai is currently involved in the exciting process of incorporating a Family Education program into the religious school. The second grade will have a series of three family education programs in the 1998-1999 school year that parallel the second grade curriculum. In addition the parents will have three adult learning sessions during the year that also parallel the existing second grade curriculum. At Temple Sinai we are committed to a family-based education where students and their families participate in creative programming that will involve them both intellectually and spiritually.
