empowering Jewish minds and engaging Jewish hearts for the modern world

On Friday, we gathered for a truly meaningful and beautiful Remembrance Day assembly, led entirely by our Grade 10 students. Their poise and thoughtfulness were inspiring, demonstrating the depth of understanding and respect they hold for this important day. A special thank you goes to teachers, Shira Bogner, Amanda Cameron, and Matt Dichter for their dedication and hard work in organizing this assembly. Their commitment ensured a powerful and reflective assembly that resonated throughout the school community.

Last week, our Grade 8 students took part in a tech-focused day designed to enhance their digital skills and well-being. The day kicked off with a session on social, emotional, and wellness topics led by our Wellness Counsellor, Andrea Alkalay. Following this, students rotated through four interactive workshops, each covering essential technology skills and responsible digital practices. They learned to navigate Google Suite tools, responsibly integrate AI (focusing on ChatGPT) into their studies, master sourcing and citation basics, and explore digital citizenship, including responsible social media use and school policies. This immersive experience equipped students with practical skills for thoughtful and effective technology use, setting them up for success in their academic journey!

On Wednesday evening, the King David Atrium was filled with prospective families eager to experience our annual Open House and discover what makes our school truly unique. Through a video presentation, informative talks, and engaging interactive tours, guests encountered “the King David difference”: a vibrant community of students who love to learn, imagine, challenge themselves, and build connections. At King David, we nurture individual strengths and encourage students to excel in academics, sports, the arts, culinary arts, and, importantly, as mensches.
