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.

With over 48 events throughout the Puget Sound area and 500 new families enrolled, The PJ Library® in Seattle experienced a fruitful and fulfilling 2011. Since its inception in 2009, The PJ Library has seen a cumulative of over 1,700 Seattle-area children enrolled in the program. The success of The PJ Library lies in both the programming and the partnerships. Without the support of the local camps, day schools, synagogues, educators and Jewish organizations, we would have been unable to make such an impact. Equally important are our partnerships with our donors.
