Tuesday Night, January 28 - Heilicher Parent Education Night Addressing Anti-Semitism
Research shows that one of the best ways we can help prepare our children to cope with discrimination and intolerance is by being open about it. Heilicher is proud to host Real Conversations: Talking to Your School-Age Children About Anti-Semitism this Tuesday, January 28, 7- 8:30 p.m. at the Barry Family Campus. We will be joined by Leah Persky, Jewish Family and Children's Service (JFCS) Family Life Education Program Manager and Jill Kozberg, MA, LP, Licensed Psychologist and Program Manager for the Counseling Department at JFCS.

To
date we have raised over $24,052 towards our goal of $36,000 by Friday, February 7!
Did you know that if every student reached out to 5 people that is 1,000 people with the capacity to support Heilicher? Everyone can participate in being an ambassador for the school by either sharing your Hora fundraising page or making phone calls. If everyone participates, we can do great things for our school and the future of Heilicher.
Please note: If you prefer, cash and/or checks, made out to Heilicher, can be collected instead of an online gift.
Please turn in payment to
Ali Berdass
, and she
will be sure to put it
towards your student's class efforts.
We have just over two weeks left of the fundraiser, so let's get to $36,000!

A Note on "Flu" Season
Cold and influenza ("flu") season is upon us and we are beginning to see increasing
numbers of students with influenza symptoms. These include fever, cough, sore throat,
headache, body aches, fatigue, and sometimes vomiting and diarrhea.
Keep your student at home and consider seeking medical attention if they have typical
flu symptoms as listed above or any of the following:
- Fever of 100 degrees or more. Students need to stay home for 24 hours after their temperature returns to normal without the use of fever-reducing medicine.
- Vomiting or diarrhea. Students need to stay home until 24 hours after the last episode.
- Any uncontrolled cough.
- Any rash for which you do not know the cause. Check with your family physician/clinic before sending the student to school.
- Strep Throat. May return 12 hours following the first dose of antibiotics if fever free and well enough to fully participate in school.

Riddlelin' - Israeli Style
For several years each Hebrew class has gathered around the bulletin board on the second floor to see the newest riddle.
The current riddles are about Israeli slang words. Every two weeks, two new slang words are posted, with three possible meanings for each word. The students then have to pick the correct one.
The kids have fun solving the riddle and trying to use the slang. The winning class is announced on Fridays at all school lunch and receives an ice cream party.
Do you know the meanings of '
Chai b'seret', '
chofer', '
ten b'rosh' and '
doodah'? Ask your kids to help you.
