Megilat EstherThis week in Judaic Studies we started studying a new Bible Hero...or heroine. We began learning about Esther and of course the story of Purim. We are all very excited to celebrate the bravery of Esther telling her King to save the Jewish people. Patriotic AssemblyOn Tuesday we joined together in song to celebrate our amazing country. Our own Mrs. V even got a chance to read an inspiring quote by Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Milken ReadersSome Milken High School seniors joined the 2nd grade classes recently to read them a story in Hebrew. The second graders proudly showed off their Hebrew skills as they understood the story and answered questions in Hebrew. The students then celebrated Kabbalat Shabbat with their guests and shared a Shabbat treat. This was a wonderful opportunity to show our 2nd graders how they can grow as Hebrew learners.
Valentines for Turning PointMrs. Baral's class had the pleasure of putting together Valentine bags for our friends at Turning Point shelter. We visited the shelter earlier this year and made lunches and toured the facility. A few months ago, Mrs. Neishuler's class brought Christmas cookies to them and in a few month's Mrs. V's class will make them some Easter goodies. These activities remind us how to care for others and acknowledge that everybody deserves to be a little spoiled for holidays, even if we ourselves don't celebrate those holidays.
