The WJCS school year will be concluding on May 20. On May 6, Congregation Emanu-El is planning a Pet Celebration Day and has invited WJCS students to participate. May 20 is our last day of school and we will once again be sponsoring Maccabiah Games for our students and recognizing our committed staff members. I would like to thank: Kimarie Funschelle, Cyndie Ponder, Jennifer Werbin, Vinnie Reed, Wendi Dozier, Phil Bloom, Karen Liebenau, Jessica Posternock, David Posternock, Art Press, Sunny Levy and our able assistants Doug Padzensky, Maeve Pickus, Alex Amsden and Cathy Liebenau for their hard work and dedication to our students. Thank you also to the WJCS School Committee for their thoughtful oversight of the school: our co-chairs -- Ellen Beren and Kay Davis; our rabbis -- Rabbi Michael Davis and Rabbi Nissim Wernick and committee members Marla Amsden, Margot Kelman, Leah Barnhard, Rita Magidson, Susan Mandelbaum and Karen Liebenau. It has been a privilege to work with all of you.
