When we wake up in the morning, one of the first prayers Jews traditionally say is the Modeh Ani prayer. Every day is meant to begin with gratitude and appreciation.

I have always appreciated that mindset, and it is one that I would like to express now. King David is a remarkable school and community. I feel so lucky, appreciative, and privileged to work at such a special place. My year has been filled with an immense sense of gratitude. Thank you to our students. Thank you to our families. Thank you to our community members. Thank you to our donors. Thank you to our hard-working, dynamic, and inspiring staff. It has been an incredible year, and we couldn’t have done it without you!

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.

What an incredible evening! Our community gathered for a truly memorable night full of joy, connection, and celebration.
