Atidaynu recently opened a new Table Décor and Dress Gemach inside the school building, created and operated by both students and staff. What started as a small idea quickly became one of the most visited and appreciated rooms in the entire school.
The gemach houses a wide range of neatly organized event décor, including full table settings for groups of 40 or more, depending on the items selected. It also offers a variety of dresses in multiple colors and styles for anyone in the community who needs something for a simcha or special occasion.
Students played a major role in bringing the gemach to life. They helped collect, prepare, and tovel every item, often making several trips to complete the process. Together with their teachers, they arranged the room, learned how to style sample tables, coordinated décor themes, and set up the space in a way that looks polished and inviting. Teachers oversee the room, guide the students, and help manage the day-to-day operations.
The project has become an active learning experience where students practice organization, teamwork, customer service, design skills, budgeting, and the responsibility involved in maintaining a community service. Rentals are handled by the students with teacher supervision, and the profits are divided among the student team, giving them a sense of ownership and purpose.
The gemach is open to the entire community, and people regularly come in to borrow décor or dresses for events. Students proudly assist visitors and show the items they helped prepare and care for. Their involvement, combined with the teachers’ guidance, has turned this space into a welcoming and functional resource.
Atidaynu’s gemach reflects the school’s commitment to practical learning, skill-building, and community service. It is a collaborative effort between staff and students, and it continues to grow through everyone’s dedication and hard work.
