Staff Day Programs

A trip to the Science Museum, a scavenger hunt, a puppet show, a winter “beach day” – these are some of the many fun and educational programs children can enjoy on Yom Kef -Staff Day.

On days when there are no classes due to teachers participating in professional development programs, staff meetings, or conferences with parents, the Afterschool Adventure offers full and half-day activities for all grade levels.

Special programs might include International New Year Festival, Fall Harvest Festival, Exxcel, JCC, Boston Scavenger, Community Service, Thanksgiving Feast, and holiday celebrations. Details will be posted in the Shavuon.
