Passover Preview Day

Tuesday, March 31, 2009 is our Passover Preview Day

Last Call Before Passover Break Begins - All Students Meet in the Library

Bring a song, tradition, bit of trivia or something interesting to share at our co-operative seder.

SPRING IS IN THE AIR!

If March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb then April showers bring us to the beginning of our Life Cycle unit on dating and marriage. Most of the students have completed their personal commitment statements and many have begun writing their mini d'var torah in class. This paper, while it does seem a bit overwhelming, has been the focus of our Bar and Bat Mitzvah unit for the past month. Students have had class time to complete their papers each week, and many have started to bring their folders home so they can type them and save a copy for later. If your student did not bring home a copy of the assignments, please ask them about it or give us a call.

The final product is dues on Sunday, April 26, 2009.

HAPPY PURIM!

So much to do, so little time. I can't believe our blog hasn't been updated in over a month. Rest assured, we have been busy, we just haven't been sharing the news with you. Here's the excuse, and trust me, it is a really good excuse, just in time for Purim. We tried to hire what we thought were responsible and reliable students to take responsibility for the weekly updates, and they just weren't up to the task. So, I guess Tracye and I will have to fire the students we trusted with this most important job, and we will have to start doing our own work once again, just as soon as we are finished celebrating Purim with the best Kitah Vav class in all of Shushan!

See you in a few, have a great holiday, and don't forget to wear your costumes!
