Newsletter King David

Last night, Beth Israel was filled with families, friends, alumni, King David staff, and students, all gathered to celebrate the Class of 2025. Our Deputy Head of School, Alex Monchamp, served as Master of Ceremonies for the evening, striking the perfect balance between heartfelt reflections and lighthearted humour. Each year, the graduates select a peer to give the student D'Var Torah. This year, we heard from Tom Goodman, who delivered a beautiful and meaningful D'var Torah. In his thoughtful D’var Torah on Parashat Nasso, Tom reflected on the idea that leadership begins with seeing the value in every individual.

Our Senior Girls Soccer team proudly represented King David and the Jewish community at the 2025 BC School Sports Single "A" Girls Soccer Provincial Championships in Duncan, BC. Our journey to provincials was a testament to the team's resilience and determination. Throughout the regular season, we competed in a league filled with larger schools, facing some very tough games that tested our abilities and spirit. These challenges pushed us to grow tremendously as a team, preparing us for our remarkable playoff run.

On Wednesday, our community came together for Celebration 5785, King David’s annual Year-End Celebration, recognizing the accomplishments of our incredible students. The Atrium buzzed with excitement as parents, students, and staff gathered to reflect on a fantastic year. Awards were presented across all grades and disciplines, celebrating not only academic excellence but also effort, growth, and positive impact.
