Tu’Beshvat Shuk

In honor of Tu’Beshvat, the sixth grade girls designed a simulated Israeli shuk in the multi-
purpose room for the elementary school. Upon entering, the students handed in their pass-
ports and received shekalim to purchase items in the shuk. This was a wonderful hands-on
learning experience for our students as they became familiar with Israeli culture. Special

thanks to Morah Alyssa Schussheim and Morah Michelle Farbman for all of their hard work
in creating the shuk.

YCQ Chess Team Places 4th in its First
Tournament

This past Sunday, January 26th, SAR Academy in
Riverdale played host to the Chess Championship
XI. This tournament was directed by Tri-State Chess,
the organization that runs YCQ's after-school chess
program. Jacob Rakofsky placed 5th individually and
the team took home the 4th place trophy, which Jacob
presented to Rabbi Landsman on Tuesday. If anyone
is interested in learning to play chess, improving their
chess playing, or entering the next tournament,
please email Jacob's parents at [email protected].

I want to thank all my colleagues, friends, and administration for your kindness and

generosity during shiva. It was greatly appreciated. May we all only experience smachot in

the future. Morah Raina Popowitz K-101

Keep your kids safe. Get their seasonal flu vaccines every year.

Seasonal Flu: A Guide for Parents

Is seasonal flu more Infants and young children are at a greater risk for getting seriously ill from the
serious for kids? flu. That’s why the New York State Department of Health recommends that all
children 6 months and older get the seasonal flu vaccine.
Flu vaccine may save
your child’s life. Most people with seasonal flu are sick for about a week, and then they feel better.
But, some people, especially young children, pregnant women, older people, and

spray vaccine? recommended for everyone 6 months and older.
How else can I
protect my child? The flu, or influenza, is an infection of the nose, throat, and lungs. The flu can
spread from person to person.
What are signs
of the flu? • Flu shots can be given to children 6 months and older.
• A nasal-spray vaccine can be given to healthy children 2 years and older.
• Children younger than 5 years who have experienced wheezing in the past

year – or any child with chronic health problems – should get the flu shot, not
the nasal-spray vaccine.
• Children younger than 9 years old who get a vaccine for the first time need
two doses.

• Get the seasonal flu vaccine for yourself.
• Encourage your child’s close contacts to get seasonal flu vaccine, too. This is very

important if your child is younger than 5 or if he or she has a chronic health
problem such as asthma (breathing disease) or diabetes (high blood sugar levels).
Because children under 6 months can’t be vaccinated, they rely on those around
them to get vaccinated.
• Wash your hands often and cover your coughs and sneezes. It’s best to use a tissue
and quickly throw it away. If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your
upper sleeve, not your hands.This will prevent the spread of germs.
• Tell your children to:

• Stay away from people who are sick;
• Clean their hands often;
• Keep their hands away from their face, and
• Cover coughs and sneezes to protect others.

The flu comes on suddenly. Most people with the flu feel very tired and have a

high fever, headache, dry cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, and sore muscles.

Some people, especially children, may also have stomach problems and diarrhea.

The cough can last two or more weeks.

How does the flu People who have the flu usually cough, sneeze, and have a runny nose. The droplets
spread? in a cough, sneeze or runny nose contain the flu virus. Other people can get the flu
by breathing in these droplets or by getting them in their nose or mouth.
How long can a sick
person spread the flu Most healthy adults may be able to spread the flu from one day before getting sick
to up to 5 days after getting sick. This can be longer in children and in people who
to others? don’t fight disease as well (people with weaker immune systems).
What should I use to
Wash your children’s hands with soap and water. Wash them for as long as it takes

they have no fever without the use of fever-control medicines and they feel well
for 24 hours.) Remind your child to protect others by covering his or her mouth
when coughing or sneezing. You may want to send your child to school with some
tissues, wipes or gels with alcohol in them if the school allows gels.
