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.
