Sharona & David Kay,
From the moment we met 20 years ago you have had "community" engrained in everything you do. We learn, through your example, the meaning of "giving". You both give your time, resources, and wisdom to KYHS and the greater Jewish community. Your passion for excellence in Jewish education is felt by all that interact with you. Thank you for continuing your service at our school from years of lay leadership to a professional bringing our students to greater successes each year. We are inspired by, and appreciate, everything you do!

Wishing our warmest Mazel Tov
To our dear neighbors and friends Sharona and David (You have profoundly impacted our beloved school and community in such a
multiplicity of ways). You have empowered our students to be politically passionate and have taken meaningful action that elevates and
enriches their own lives and makes a discernible difference in the lives of others; have inspired in our students an even deeper
commitment to Am Yisroel, and have served as intellectual role models-- guiding (both pedagogically and by example) our students to
more purposeful, knowledgeable and actualized lives. Everything you do combines both sophisticated acumen and compassion.
To Melissa Pereira, I have such fond and cherished memories of all our years working together and know full well the enormity of
what you do and all the wisdom and exhaustive efforts it takes. I am so appreciative, as your colleague and school parent, for all
your intense, heartfelt, and thoughtful work. Your warmth, kindness, and insightfulness alight up my heart as they do the school.
To Elana and Justin, It seems both like yesterday and like decades ago that you sat in my class...and it gives me such joy to see all
that you have built and accomplished together, and alll that you are doing for KYHS!!
L'dor V'dor, help to strengthen the light of Torah in our students' lives.
