Recognition Dinner
This year's eighth grade recognition dinner was held on June 7 at the Sephardic Temple. Before the dinner, the students were videotaped saying their part for the cantata which will be shown at graduation. The students were all dressed in their Shabbat clothing as well as their cap and gown. After the videotaping, students changed out of their cap and gown and got ready for the recognition dinner. It was nothing short of fantastic. The evening began with "passing." The students eagerly partook of the little hot dog knishes, potato knishes and egg rolls to name a few of the items. The students were super-excited. Next, the doors opened to the ballroom and the students went to their tables. The balloon centerpieces and the stunning tablecloths and settings added to the evening immeasurably. Rabbi Hecht introduced the evening by mentioning that it was a celebration of all of the chessed that the students did in and out of school. It was also going to be a night where each student was in the spotlight as their middle school achievements were spoken about. Next, Mrs. Schneider discussed the importance of chessed and she introduced Menachem Mendel Rosner. Menachem Mendel had done many varied chassadim and he spoke about them with great pride. Each student then received a certificate indicating the amount of chessed hours that they had done. Students and faculty danced in celebration of the wonderful accomplishments. Next was the delicious buffet. Students and faculty genuinely enjoyed that. The evening continued with different faculty members speaking about each and every student. The students picture flashed on the screen. They stepped up to the podium and heard from their teachers/principals. At the end of the program, the students watched a fantastic video highlighting the past two years in HANC Middle School. The students loved the program and were so appreciative! Mazal Tov!
