This past Monday, September 19, the students of the fifth grade came to the
MPR where they learned all about the halachot of Shofar. The students were
also given the amazing opportunity to make their own Kosher shofar to take
home. We look forward to hearing that our students had a new found
appreciation for the mitzvah of Shofar. May we merit to hear the shofarot of
Mashiach soon! Special thanks to Morah Hadas and Rabbi Ribalt for
organizing this special event.

WOW- Words of the Week

This year the students in JHS will be introduced to new academic words every week on a

them in their reading will get extra credit points or STAR cards for that class. Please review
the words with your whole family so that we can all learn together.

Eighth Grade Visits Ellis Island

This past week, the eighth grade students visited Ellis Island and the September 11th
Memorial. The students sailed past the Statue of Liberty on a beautiful ferry ride. The
students took a tour of the Ellis Island Museum and learned about the history of the island.
They ate an outdoor lunch overlooking the Statue of Liberty and spent time at Battery
Park. At the 9/11 Memorial the students took parchment paper and etched the names of
particular victims that they researched, followed by dinner at Bravo Pizza. The eighth grade
students had a wonderful educational day of touring lower Manhattan!
