Grandparents and Special Friends are important members of the Striar Hebrew Academy extended family. Our Grandparents Association provides opportunities for SHAS grandparents/special friends to connect with the school, meet other grandparents, and attend activities with their grandchildren.
We are proud to make every member of the family a partner in our student's educational experience- our grandparents are no exception!
SHAS is pleased to welcome grandparents and friends throughout the school year:
- to share your expertise in the classroom
- participate in school events and grade milestone programs
- learn with us through our monthly Limud/Learning with Rabbi Soffer and Book Club led by Edie Salzman

SHAS is made richer by your contributions to our community and when you visit, you will feel the excitement that the students feel every day. There is a sense of comfort in knowing that your grandchildren go to school where learning about their heritage and their religion is a core part of the curriculum.
SHAS values your involvement as a grandparent and as a role model. We know that the relationship between grandparents and their grandchildren is very special and that children, and the Jewish community, benefit when grandparents are involved in their lives.
Please check the SHAS calendar-- attend the special milestone events in your grandchild's life, celebrate with us at community events, and support our school.
