It is with great excitement that we are writing to invite you to a special ribbon cutting event on Sunday, September 15, 2024, at 10:00am, at the Rabbi Pesach Raymon Yeshiva, where we will be dedicating a newly renovated space: The Sari Shalmon STEM Studio.
As you know, Sari Shalmon was a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) pioneer, who devoted so many years of her life to establishing, cultivating and developing the current extensive, innovative and hugely successful STEM program at RPRY. Thanks to Sari, RPRY's STEM and Robotics teams have consistently won top ribbons at regional and national competitions, for more years than we can count. With the tremendous support of the Cypess Family, Sari successfully expanded RPRY's STEM programming, which now benefits all students, in all grades - Pre-Nursery - 8th grade.
In connection with the Dream It Capital and Innovation Campaign, RPRY has created its first STEM Studio and is thrilled to be dedicating this space in memory of our beloved champion STEM teacher and innovator, Sari Shalmon, a”h.
Please join us in honoring Sari's memory at what we expect be”H to be a very meaningful event, by making your reservation below.
For more information about this event, contributing to the Sari Shalmon STEM Studio and/or the Dream It Capital and Innovation Campaign, please email Leslie Ostrin and Andrew Getraer at dreamit@rpry.org.
