"I Believe" It's Going to be an Amazing Year

Thank you to Morah Kelly and Mrs. Mittleman's class for leading a great Kabbalat Shabbat today-- our first of the 2014-2015 school year. As you'll see below their "I Believe" statements are truly inspirational. Below you'll find Morah Kelly's words as well as the "I Believe" statements that were shared today.

Yasher Koach to Mrs. Mittleman’s 5th grade for leading a beautiful first Kabbalat Shabbat. As a part of their ledership each member of the class shared an “I Believe” statement. Our “I Believe” statements were inspired by the This I Believe project, which is an international organization engaging people in writing and sharing essays describing the core values that guide their daily lives. We were especially inspired by 6 year old Tarak McLain’s essay who shared 30 0f the 100 beliefs he brought in to share on his 100th day of Kindergarten. You can hear Tarak’s essay here.  As we work on building our on Kehillah (community) this year at Davis I think we should all carry with us Tarak’s words, “I believe we live best in a community.”
