on any religious denomination.
A focal point in our curriculum
is the state of Israel, whose
creative efforts are a constant
inspiration.
The school's teaching staff,
is devoted to Jewish education,
and its members give unstiting-
ly of themselves, their time and
efforts not only in the hours of
formal teaching - by the mani-
fold extra-curricular activities.
The Sholem Aleichem School
is unique in another respect,
too. The parents themselves are
in charge of the school and are
active participants in its many
varied activities. The school is
an educational institution for
them • as well.
Being an affiliate of the
United Hebrew schools and re-
ceiving many valuable assist-
ances from them, the Sholem
Aleichem School nevertheless,
maintains its own educational
autonomy.
