At JCDS, we take Purim very seriously! Last Friday (pre-Purim), our 8th-graders led a Megillah highlights reading, paired with K-8-made visuals to demonstrate students’ understanding of the text, and had tremendous costume fanfare. This was just the beginning of the day’s festivities! The faculty serenaded the students to a Taylor Swift-themed parody about Purim, the 5th graders ran a Mishloach Manot store, and students in grades 6-8 organized and ran a fun-filled Purim Carnival for the school.
Thank you to photographer David Greenfield, JCDS grandparent, and father of teacher Naomi Greenfield (2nd Grade General Studies Teacher and photographed in ’80s gear!), for taking these beautiful photos and more during Friday’s Purim Carnival!
