Dear Families and Friends, Family learning at Scheck Hillel Community School enriches our partnership along this journey we share. Just as we empower our students with skills, knowledge and experiences to build a bright Jewish future, as parents, grandparents and community friends, we carry the responsibility to learn and teach as well. We look forward to learning and sharing together.
