JHS Color War

The JHS students spent two days this past week showing school spirit and enjoying the
games associated with color war. They played many competitive games of football,
dodgeball, kickball and many others. The students participated in a Torah Bowl
competition, divrei Torah, a grand finale banner, skit and song. The JHS displayed great
camaraderie throughout the color war competition. Congratulations to the yellow team,
Team Mordechai, for defeating the purple team, Team Esther.

Sunday Morning Learning

This past Sunday, Rabbi Finestone spoke to the students about how to achieve happiness. The students can
now fully be sure to be b’simcha through the month of Adar, as the phrase says, “Mishenichnas Adar
Marbim B’Simcha! Rabbi Finestone expressed how its not the materialistic things that make us happy,
rather, it is the dvarim she’bekedusha. May we continue to only experience simcha and smachot together
as a YCQ family.

YCQ-PTO Purim Mishloach Manot Program

Dear Parents,

We invite you to participate in the mitzvah of Mishloach Manot and Matanot L’Evyonim
through our annual Purim Program.

A scroll listing your child’s name will be included with every Mishloach Manot distributed to
each one of the YCQ teachers and staff members, including all specialty teachers and staff.

This year’s Mishloach Manot packages have been purchased from Keren Aniyem. For over 25
years Keren Aniyem has supported hundreds of needy families in the New York area through
their fundraising efforts.

Although your children will not have to bring individual bags to present to their teachers,
they will still be fulfilling this very important mitzvah. This and other fundraising efforts help
sponsor the Purim Carnival and other activities that the Parent-Teacher Organization
undertakes to enhance our children’s experience at YCQ.

PLEASE help us make this a success by completing the form below and sending it in with
your child to the school’s Business Office by FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 2016 or paying online via
PayPal at the following link:

Thank you,
THE PURIM COMMITTEE

Any forms/payments submitted after the deadline will be included in an addendum.
