Peretz has an active “non-school” community. Members attend the holiday celebrations and Sunday morning adult educational programs at the school, run a monthly Friday night education ser ies, enjoy a Jewish book group, and attend semiannual weekend retreats at Stokes State Forest along with the school families. An adult-only Chanukah party and annual summer picnic bring school and community families together for socializing. There is also a teen group where teens meet monthly and plan their own educational, cultural and social activities under the guidance of a dynamic teen advisor.
