Art Exhibit Fills LCDSFrom top floor to Lobby, hallways were filled with a most excellent array of student artwork. Projects ranged from recycled sculpture to Renaissance portraits, all under the guidance of teacher and artist extraor-dinaire Deborah Brown.

Mrs. Brown reviews the middle school sculpture display as families view the exhibit.

Prior to the art exhibit, a Thank You re-ception was held to honor LCDS supporters and volunteers. Recognition awards were presented by board chair Roger Miller to the 2008-09 PA Co-Presidents, Amy Siama and Joi Fiske, and to the Annual Campaign Co-Chairs, Rosalind Lanes, Rochelle Finvarb, Aarti Taubman and Shari Seiner.

Rabbi Linfield congratulates Shari Seiner and Ros Lanes, while outgoing PA co-president Amy

Ephraim Katzir k"zIsrael’s fourth president, Ephraim Katzir, died on Saturday, May 30 at the age of 93. Prior to the burial, Katzir lay in state at the Weizmann Institute of Sci-ence in Rehovot, an institution on whose faculty he served from its 1949 founding up until his death.

At the ceremony, incumbent president Shi-mon Peres referred both to Katzir and to the late president’s brother, Aharon Katzir, who was also a scientist. Aharon Katzir was killed in a terrorist at-tack at Lod Airport (now Ben-Gurion International Airport), which took place 37 years to the day prior to the late president’s death. Peres spoke of how, following his brother’s death, Ephraim Katzir agreed to serve as president at the request of then-prime minister Golda Meir, succeeding Zalman Shazar in the presidency.
