Our Second Grade students received their Tehillim this week upon their return to school after Sukkos. We are looking forward to infusing all of our  talmidos with a deep love for Tehillim. This year for the very first time, we handed out the new Artscroll Chinuch Tehillim. Each sefer has beautiful formatting with large, clear Hebrew type and numbered lines to help the students find their place quickly. We hope that this introduction will be the beginning of a life-long connection! The girls will continue to receive guided instruction in all the kriah rules as the year unfolds. Please encourage your daughters to practice their kriah by reading a few lines each day as they earn their Malkas Tehillim crown!  

After Sukkos, we began our new Respect initiative - יפה תלמוד תורה עם דרך ארץ! Every few weeks we will focus on a new target area that will build a culture of respect to ourselves, to others, and to property, in the classroom, lunchroom, playground, hallway, and bathroom.

For the next few weeks, we will be focusing on:

 

This week on Tuesday morning,  Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan, the Upper and Lower Elementary divisions, presented

Gevuras Yarden, the Jewish Caring Network, with a check for $500. This represented the students' Tzedakah  contributions between Rosh Hashana and Sukkos. This contribution was made as a  zechus for a Refua Shelima for Chaya Musya Bas Tova.

An annual luncheon is held in both the Elementary divisions to welcome all new girls to school. This gives them an opportunity to met and get to know their principals. Each girl in our school is unique and adds to the spirit that is Bais Yaakov. We are so excited they have joined us and wish every one of them much Hatzlacha here!
