Dear Heilicher Families,

Conferences are off to a great start today. If you need a pre-or-post conference bite to eat, remember dinner is for sale tonight (Thursday) in the Dining Room from 4-6 p.m. The whole faculty joins me in thanking you for your engagement in conferences and beyond to ensure a successful school experience for the students.

We are looking forward to gathering with families again at the Rosh Hashanah Assembly on Friday, September 30, from 2:30 - 3:10 p.m. in the Manny Fingerhut Auditorium. We'll sing, celebrate, and get ready for a sweet new year as a Heilicher community.

B'shalom,
Yoni

Donations for the Social Action Committee Tzedakah Project 

The Heilicher Student Social Action Committee is starting its first Tzedakah project. We will be collecting items for the Animal Humane Society in order to fulfill the Jewish value of Tza'ar Ba'alei Chayim, which means that we are responsible for the care and well being of animals. The committee has compiled a list of items needed by the Humane Society and has posted lists in every classroom (list here ).  Donation boxes will be placed at the entrance of the school as well as right outside the school office. 

Collection will run from Wednesday, September 28, until Friday, October 28.
