Summer 2024 Library Update
Shalom Hebrew Day School,
I hope this message finds you well and enjoying the summer!
I am thrilled to share an exciting update about our school renovation project. The journey toward transforming our educational spaces is well underway, and we are making great progress. Last week, anyone who was at the JCC heard the beginning phases of the project. Demolition crews took down walls and hollowed out the new library and office spaces. Demolition is now over and we are framing the new spaces while the electricians and plumbers begin their work.
We are delighted to see such enthusiastic interest in this project throughout the community. Your support and curiosity have been truly inspiring. To ensure everyone’s safety, please remember that nobody is allowed in the construction zone. However, we want you to be part of the journey.

Our first priority is ensuring that all the classrooms are ready as fully functional, warm and welcoming spaces by the first day of school, and we are on track to make that happen. We anticipate that the newly renovated library and administrative offices may be undergoing ‘finishing touches’ and furniture installation during the beginning of September, but we do not anticipate that causing interruption to the school day.
This important project has encountered additional costs. Every gift is appreciated and makes a lasting impact. Your support helps us move closer to our goal of creating the Anna Schwalb Memorial Library, a vibrant learning environment for our students.

Thank you for your ongoing support and dedication to our school community. This is an exciting time for our community as we look forward to the completion of our enhanced space that will better serve our students and staff. Be on the lookout for updates and a Save The Date for our dedication ceremony featuring a special guest speaker.
Shabbat Shalom!
PS: Our partners at the JCC are looking for hosts for the summer Maccabi games between,July 26 – August 4. We are so excited to have 4 Nahalal athletes join Team Ann Arbor this summer for the JCC Maccabi Games.
The Federation team has put together a great pre/post program for the athletes and the week of the Games (July 28 – August 2), the teens will be busy with their sports competitions and social events.
