Saying Goodbye to KSDS May 23, 2012

Among the many families whose youngest child will soon join siblings as Krieger-Schechter graduates were four long-time KSDS households.   The Brooks family (22 amazing Schechter years), the Frazers (19 wonderful Schechter years), the Smiths (16 incredible Schechter years) and the Friers (16 fabulous Schechter years) all decided they wanted to do something special to mark the end of an important era.  This past Friday they treated the faculty and staff to a lovely brunch, a bittersweet send-off to those who have been an integral part of the KSDS family for so long.  One thing we all know, though, is once a part of the Schechter community, always a part of the Schechter community.

Scene around…. on the roof of KSDS! May 14, 2012

True to his word, Dr. Schneider became the Fiddler on the Roof last week.  Yes, he really was on the roof of the Esterson Lobby overhang, during morning car pool.  “Assisted” by alum parent, Sally Grobani and a boom box blaring him singing “Country Boy”, he played his fiddle for all to see.  And what a festive car pool it was.

Your next question may be; “why?”  Well it is pretty simple.  Earlier this year, the PA asked for his assistance to try and encourage the students to bring in a large number of boxtops.  And the challenge was issued.  If the students brought in over 1000 boxtops, he would be the Fiddler on the Roof for a day.  Of course many more than 1000 boxtops were brought in.  And so he had to fulfill his side of the bargain, which he gladly did.
