The "Dr. Wendy Mogel Event" -- An Amazing Collaboration between Kadima Day School, Congregation Or Ami and the Shalom Institute

On Wednesday evening, October 24, more than 300 people enjoyed a spectacular evening with Dr. Wendy Mogel.  Offering parents access to the very best thinkers and presenters about successful parenting is another great reason to join the Kadima community.

 Here is the flyer about the event:

We've Got Spirit...Yes We do....Go Kodiaks!

On Monday, October 22, we held our first pep rally of the year in support of our Fall Sports teams, Girls Basketball, Boys JV Flag Football and Boys 6th/5th Grade Flag Football.

What a night and what a day! Sukkot B'Yachad Followed By Simhat Torah in School

One of the many wonderful features of Kadima is that our Judaic Studies team creates celebrations that authentically "feel" the holiday or special day, whether they be joyful celebrations or contemplative days or memorials.  Over the last two days, the Kadima community has "stepped up" with two biggies for the year, our communities "Sukkot B'Yachad" event for our families and Simchat Torah in school.  And, both celebrations were truly amazing.

Sukkot B'Yachad Tonight!

We've got a very special Sukkot event planned for our community this evening.  Don't miss out on the special blessings, the activities and celebrations, and of course, the fabulous Sukkot dinner!!!!

Sukkot Sameach!
