Spring Electives Announced!
Our seventh graders had their last day of trimester 2 electives tonight. For the next few weeks, we’ll be doing Moving Traditions lessons with the students (and with families on February 27! Save the date!) Speaking of Moving Traditions, I have been in touch with the program and shared some of the feedback that I’ve heard from families. If you or your child has feedback on that curriculum, please let me know and I will pass it along. (We do not write those lessons but are executing lessons that were planned by the Moving Traditions organization.)
We will be launching our third and final trimester of electives after February break. I’m excited to announce that we have finalized the elective options for the spring:
-
- DiCo: Torah Study
- Lauren: Rosh Chodesh
- Haley & Elal: Jewish Cooking
- Leora & Jaz: Judaism Through Crafts
- Hannah: Jewish Mindfulness & Meditation
- Emily: Judaism & Sports
- Keren: Jewish Pop Culture
Preference will be given to students who did not yet have a chance to take that elective this year, and hopefully everyone will end up somewhere they are excited to be! We will be distributing surveys to the students at Yachad over the next two weeks.

Shabbat in the Home, Save the Date: Friday, April 3
As we enter into our third theme of the year, kesher/connection, we are excited to share that each grade will have a Friday evening where families can host each other for Shabbat dinner! This will be a wonderful way for students and parents to get to know each other outside of the walls of Yachad and to share in the joy of Shabbat together at home. Our seventh grade date will be Friday, April 3. More info coming soon!
