  • give back to the school that nurtures your grandchild

Simhat Dor L’Dor (Celebrating Generations)

This event is just for you and your grandchild! Scheduled on October 12 and November 22, these programs provide a special opportunity to visit the classroom, share your wisdom, and add your life experiences to the next generation’s learning process. Click here for more information.

Volunteer Opportunities

“We appreciate how welcoming HMJDS has been in providing opportunities to share in the school lives of our grandchildren. We particularly enjoyed being part of their classrooms during the annual Simhat Dor L’Dor program, and being treated like “royalty” when we read in their classes. It is truly a remarkable school!” – HMJDS Grandparent

Another way for grandparents to feel part of our school community is through contributions of time! There are many hands-on/classroom and behind-the-scenes volunteer opportunities including being a lunchroom helper, reading partner, art room assistant, and more. We know there’s something very special about one generation interacting with another!

For information on volunteering, please contact PTO Co-Chairs Lauren Weiser or Michelle Gendlin.
