Pictures of our first week

Here are some pictures from our first full day back at school. We ended the day with cake celebrating summer birthdays. On Friday, we celebrated Mr. Neft's wedding by having a community Sheva Brachot celebration in honor of Mr. Neft and his new bride, Leia. Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Neft!

Shabbat Shalom!

Parents, and Teachers, and Students, OH MY!

Last night, the Cardin community came together for the annual CAPTS (Cardin Association of Parents, Teachers, and Students) Back to School BBQ at the Owings Mills JCC fields. What a great evening reconnecting with friends and gearing up for the new school year. A big thank you to the CAPTS leaders who planned an outstanding event. As I reflect on last evening, it is heartwarming to think about the close bonds felt by everyone in our Cardin community. Last night, I watched students from different grades interact, parents dine with Board members, and teachers talk to parents of students that may not even be in their classes this year. You can really tell how caring of a community we have at the Cardin School.

In other news, we are happy that all students returned to school today and are hopeful that this year will be another outstanding year at Cardin. Coach Minton has even cleaned out his office to prepare for a great year. The desk looks great, Coach!

THE SCHOOL

The Shoshana S. Cardin School, founded in 2003, is the
first pluralistic independent Jewish high school in
Baltimore. Cardin began with 32 students in grade 9.
Currently there are 58 students enrolled in grades 9-12,
The school integrates Judaic studies with a challenging
college-preparatory program.

A teacher student ratio of 1:2 enables each student to
develop meaningful relationships with the faculty,
providing students with opportunities for significant
interactions with superior educators.

A Cardin School education combines academic excellence
with individual discovery. All courses—AP, honors, and
standard—are grounded in structure and integrity while
challenging students to create their own meaning.
Cardin students are inspired to explore beyond the
classroom.

Association of Independent Schools; the Association of
