Committed to working towards excellence, local educators convened their second conference as part of the Jewish Early Childhood Education Fellowship for Leadership and Excellence. The two-day conference brought together leadership teams from seven Jewish schools across metropolitan Seattle to explore the concept of lech lecha or journeying, one of the many Jewish "big ideas" the fellows will explore.

Jewish educators from around Seattle came together to increase their ability to form meaningful relationships within the community they serve. The professional development session, entitled "The Quality of Relationships," had more than 70 teachers brainstorming ways to improve their daily interactions with colleagues, families and, most importantly, children. Education Services sponsored the session, which was held at the Stroum JCC on November 7. It was facilitated by Diana Ganger, award-winning educational consultant.

Looking for a fun and easy volunteer opportunity that allows you to support all of the Jewish programs and activities you love? Look no further: Come to Super Sunday, on Sunday, November 13 from 9:30am-4pm at the Stroum Jewish Community Center. It's the Jewish Federation's annual community-wide phone-a-thon, and the impact you can help us make is enormous.
