A RESOLUTION

Commending Torah Day School of Atlanta; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, 25 years ago, Torah Day School of Atlanta opened its doors with 19 students, four teachers, and two grade levels with the goal of creating a school where Torah and mitzvot observance would be taught and modeled, together with an excellent general studies program; and

WHEREAS, such humble beginnings have blossomed into a nationally acclaimed school of excellence, as today over 330 children in kindergarten through eighth grade learn in the warm, nurturing, and inspiring environment that is unique to the school; and

WHEREAS, Torah Day School of Atlanta is now located on a beautiful 11 acre campus with science and computer labs, an outdoor sports court, a state-of-the-art gymnasium, a flourishing community organic garden and teaching center, a 23,000 volume library, and three age-appropriate outdoor playground areas; and

WHEREAS, dually accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and Southern Association of Independent Schools, the school is a 2008 national Blue Ribbon School of Excellence with a reputation that attracts families from all over Atlanta who believe that Jewish education is the birthright of every Jewish child and have the desire to make that education available to everyone; and

WHEREAS, under the direction of Rabbi Kalmen Rosenbaum, who has been head of Torah Day School of Atlanta for the past 16 years, the school has matured into a first class learning institution; and

WHEREAS, as Torah Day School of Atlanta celebrates its 25th anniversary of success and service, it is only right and proper that the faculty, staff, students, and parents and all who have worked to make the school a success be recognized and commended.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body recognize and commend Torah Day School of Atlanta for its tremendous success and its immeasurable service to the community.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to Rabbi Kalmen Rosenbaum on behalf of Torah Day School of Atlanta.
