5th Grade Mitzvah Unit

This week students finished working on their Mitzvah Village projects to wrap up our unit on Mitzvot. They really took ownership of these projects and worked diligently in their groups to represent each of the mitzvot they chose. Next week, the 5th graders will get to present their villages to the 4th grade students to show off their hard work and get the 4th graders excited for next year. Additionally, we will begin our 2nd unit next week which is about leadership.

Yachad Retreat:

4th-6th graders had so much fun on the Yachad Retreat! We spent our weekend playing games, doing adventure activities, praying together and building relationships among our community.  The kids especially loved the ropes courses, gaga and staying in cabins with their peers. We saw so many incredible interactions between students and new friendships forming throughout the weekend.  It was truly special for all of the staff and students to have such a unique and fun experience together and we know it will be remembered for a long time to come.
