Class Times Congregation Beth Sholom brings together about 60 students, Pre-K through eighth grade. Pre-K through second grade meets on Sundays, and thrid through seventh grades meets on Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Third graders also have an optional enrichment program. The enrichment classes are taught in six-week modules and students can enroll in one or more of the individual modules. There is a heavy emphasis on hands-on experiences and family education throughout the programs. School begins at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday mornings and runs until 12:30 p.m. During that time, all classes participate in tefillah (prayers), brunch, and schedule depending, music and/or art. The youngest students begin the day with tefillah and parents are encouraged to stay with their children for this part of the morning. Tefillah is usually led by our teachers and includes prayers, song, and a story. The third through seventh garde students participate in a student-led tefillah. Each week a different group of students prepares and leads a full morning service.
