UPPER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

The first month in the Upper Elementary has been going really well. Students are enjoying themselves and teachers are busy preparing their students for Rosh Hashana and the Yemei HaDin. We learned about the importance of connecting ourselves to Hashem as we do Mitzvos. Davening and Bentching are a real Kiddush Hashem to behold. We had our first Fire Drill and practiced a Shelter in Place in the event we would need to lockdown the building. The girls responded to these in a manner that impressed us and the security guard, who commented on how quickly the students evacuated the building. Our Upper Elementary Students really 'R' Responsible and Ready to respond.

We wish everyone a wonderful month and thank you for sending us such caring and respectful students to our building each day!

AN INSPIRING MESSAGE FROM RABBI STEIN

MIDDLE SCHOOL G.O. OPENING ACTIVITY

On Thursday, September 15 ^th the G.O. organized an opening activity to the Inner Harbor to ride the 'SeaDog'. The SeaDog is a giant motorboat which cruises the harbor at high speeds generating fun and excitement and a feeling of achdus for our students. Each year we charge our General Organization under the direction of Mrs. Mellman to come up with an activity which can generate warm feelings and excitement and helps our young adults face their classes with enthusiasm.
