Friday, February 12, is Rosh Chodesh Adar. This is the beginning of the month of Adar, the month that includes Purim. Our greeting for Rosh Chodesh Adar is Mi Sheh-nich-nas Adar, Marbim B'simcha, "When Adar comes in, we increase our joy!"
To celebrate on February 12, all students and staff are encouraged to wear a funny hat. Be happy, it's Adar!

Purim Mitzvah Project
Help us honor the Purim Mitzvah of giving gifts to those in need (Matanot La-Evyonim) מתנות לאביונים by contributing the following clothing items. These can be new or gently used, and whatever size or style you contribute will be fine. As we don our costumes for Purim, others will be able to don clothing they need.
Bring these in between now and Purim Day so that we can donate them on Purim, in accordance with the mitzvah. We are asking each grade to donate these items.
- Grades K-2: socks
- Grades 3-5: winter hats or gloves
- Grades 6-8: t-shirts or underwear
