DENA CHERN MEMORIAL MIDOS FAIR AWARDS B aruch Hashem, we enjoyed an impressive end to a most productive and fulfilling year. The end of year assemblies featured. The climax of the assemblies on Monday was the bestowing of the Dena Chern Midos Tovos Awards to five deserving graduating fifth graders. The award has been established by family and friends of Mrs. Dena Chern, A H, Dena bas Mordechai, to perpetuate her legacy of concern for transmission of proper Midos to the next generation. We were honored to have Mr. and Mrs. Chernomodik and 3 of Mrs. Chern s children in attendance at the assemblies. The awardees received a beautiful certificate and a valuable Sefer. Their names will appear on the special plaque in our multi-purpose room for generations of Toras Emes students to see and emulate. Yasher Koach to: Gabriella Chattah Rochel Schloss Esti Schwartz Shua Jeger Ailee Shanes The assemblies also featured the conferring of the coveted Supermentsch Awards to a select group of students, grades 2-5, who consistently demonstrated kindness to peers, respect for authority, following of rules and instructions and responsibility about school and homework.

Likras Shabbos Parashas Korach 5774 Dear Parents, Summer reading lists aren t only for kids. As we take time to reflect upon the past year and marvel at the growth and accomplishments of our children, appreciating the bracha they bring into our lives, we know we cannot rest on our laurels. The summer months are a perfect time for parents to snatch a few extra minutes each day and spend time with a book a productive, practical, meaningful book. There are many valuable books on parenting, be it from a Torah or secular source. Every book has something to offer yet no one book has everything. As we try to do each year, I am once again sharing a list of recommended books and encourage you to pick one up, go through it and choose one or two ideas to incorporate into your life on an ongoing basis. It sounds like a very small step but all successful endeavors are made up of small steps. Every new milestone in a child s life brings new challenges and new opportunities. To make sure your child flourishes at each stage that comes along, be prepared with a proven approach to successfully handle the situation. Your child will be glad you did. Best wishes for a rejuvenating summer and meaningful reading! Enjoy your children! Rabbi Kalman Baumann -Please turn over for list-
