The following counting lists might capture attention – and increase understanding, appreciation, loyalty and support!
Three Ways We Contained Costs This Year:
We made more frequent but less costly and more effective fundraising appeals through using social media.
We applied for and received funds to upgrade our inefficient HVAC system.
We partnered with another local school and a local senior center to qualify for significant volume discounts on office supplies.
Four is our Magic Number:
4 new innovations in our early childhood reading program.
4 new teachers coming aboard in September.
4 national Merit Scholarship Winners.
4 generations participate in our Yom HaShoah program.
Five Ways We Make Counting the Omer Meaningful:
Kindergarten students plant vegetables while learning about harvesting and the concept of omer.
Middles schoolers count omer over the phone with their nursing-home-resident “sefirah buddies.”
Eighth graders visit the bar kochba caves during their Israel trip
Sophomores explore one of the seven lower kabalistic sefirot each week.
High school seniors learn that “Torah is acquired through 48 ways (Avot, 6:5).” They then prepare for matan Torah by logging into Rabbi Noah Weinberg’s series, the 48 Ways every morning.
Use Numbers to Impress:
800 hours of Hebrew spoken in every middle school classroom
600 hours of STEM instruction in every fourth grade class
500 healthy snacks served every day
