Havdalah Highlights

We start each week gathered together as a school for a Havdalah ceremony, during which we highlight students who we have noticed acting in ways that carry out our mission. Because we are so proud of our students, we wanted to share their stories with you!

To all of the 4th graders for being patient with Ms. Raizman and for helping her carry her things, bringing her her crutches, and pushing her in the wheelchair. You were all so wonderful this week.

Will S. (TK) and Annie R. (K) helped their friend pick up her edemame after she accidentally dropped them.

2nd Grader Idan M. brought in two real bird feathers that he had found to show his science class. After the feathers were shown to his class, Idan M. went out of his way to donate one of the feathers. He made sure to say "so that other students could learn about feathers." He served others by giving up something of his that he cared about so as to help others learn about the world around us. 

2nd graders Maya A. and Sarah F. noticed each other being difference makers: Sarah offered Maya a flower made out of paper when nobody asked her to; Sarah saw Maya picking up trash when no one asked her to.
