At The Rashi School, students in kindergarten through grade 2 read stories together with their grandparents, sharing a special bond and creating new memories.

“Read Across America Day” is an annual reading motivation and awareness program that celebrates the birthday of beloved children's author Dr. Seuss. There were smiles and laughter all around as both students and grandparents experienced the joy of reading.

The Rashi School is a co-ed Independent School for grades K-8 affiliated with the Reform Movement of Judaism.
