Conejo Jewish Day School students give thanks

Students at the Conejo Jewish Day School in Agoura Hills put on their annual Thanksgiving last month.

Each grade performed an original piece emphasizing the spiritual value of giving thanks. Older students highlighted the history of the holiday, and all of the students shared pieces that underscored the importance of gratitude, sharing and cooperation.

"Because of our dual curriculum, our students learn values along with history and other general studies subjects. Thanksgiving provides a great opportunity to teach children important life lessons that will stay with them forever," said Rabbi Eli Broner, Judaic Studies principal.
