This week our 8th grade enjoyed a week full of trips! On Monday, Rabbi Dov Fried and Rabbi Silverman (who has been substituting for Rabbi Fried's classes) took the 8th grade boys to visit Yeshiva Torah Vodaas in Brooklyn, where they heard from Rabbi Elya Katz, a Menahel at the Yeshiva. He gave the boys chizuk in Torah learning and Avodat Hashem. They also met with Rabbi Yehoshua Haber who tested the boys on their knowledge of Arvei Pesachim (the Gemarah they are learning this year). Rabbi Haber was very impressed with the students' answers. The boys sang and danced, and the trip ended with a trip to a local pizza store.
That same day, the 8th grade girls enjoyed a fun-filled day of snow tubing at Camelback Mountain. Thank you to Morah Mittelman and Morah Lax for arranging and chaperoning such a fun trip.
The 8th grade boys traveled to Camelback Mountain on Wednesday for their chance to go snow tubing. Even Rabbi Dov Fried and Rabbi Silverman took a ride down the hill!

PICTURES ARE (FINALLY) HERE!
|
|
The packages and proofs from the photographer arrived at school and should have been sent home with your child(ren) this week (grades N-7). We realize that, unfortunately, there are some errors. Please email YHT-PTA@hartorah.org if you haven't received the package you ordered, received the wrong package etc. (There is no need to email again if you already have). Also, if you received proofs and wish to order pictures, please email the PTA before ordering from the company. We are working on solutions to all of the issues, and we will be in touch with next steps as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

A DELICIOUS WAY TO SUPPORT YHT
|
|
Each student has been sent home with a large envelope containing materials for the Miss Chocolate/Bartons Passover candy sale. We appreciate in advance your participation in this PTA fundraiser; if everyone sells just one item, the school greatly benefits.
Instructions for placing orders online (in addition to, or instead of, selling door-to-door) were sent by email. This year's deadline for submitting orders (online or to the YHT office) is
Wednesday, March 4th
(LESS THAN ONE WEEK FROM TODAY). If you will be bringing your order form to the office, rather than ordering online, please be sure to fill the form out completely (make sure to indicate your prize request) and include full payment. All checks should be made out to YHT-PTA.
