Student Activities and CommunityService Self Study Report
Student Activities: If there is any aspect of our Levine Academy program that showcases the spirit, the pride and joy of our school community, it would be in the plethora of student activities that take place throughout the year. All students are actively involved in enlivening our Jewish holidays, traditional ceremonies, grade level annual productions (for Kindergarten through 4 th grade), and even school-wide productions such as the Zimriyah all-school song festival performed before the entire community each year in December — Zimriyah now boasts 34 consecutive annual performances! These activities are all designed to elevate and supplement the academic program, enhance pride in our Sch ool’s Mission, experience the joys and meaning of each of our Jewish holidays and, of course, to exhibit and showcase the talents of our students.
