Tree of Life Religious School has implemented a new program, “BE A MENSCH” (BEAM). At the beginning of each Jewish month, each teacher will nominate a student to be the class “Mensch of the Month.”  The student will have to meet the criteria of the BEAM program that is listed to the right.  Around "Rosh Chodesh" (the new month) there will be a party, with Mrs. Schapiro, for the “mensches.”   It is our hope that each student will have an opportunity to be a “Mensch of the Month.”   All students that are recognized will be listed in the monthly Messenger beginning in December.
