Third grade classes have been taking part in the ZOOMS STEM Design Challenge. Each group of students built a model of an enrichment device to engage the Hawaiian Monk Seals at the Minnesota Zoo.
|
To
date we have raised over $30,100!
We have
one week left to hit our goal of $36,000.
Please continue to reach out to others and spread the Heilicher pride. Together we can do great things for our school.
Please join us Friday, February 7, 2:30 p.m. in the auditorium for our all-school Heilicher Hora. We will be dancing the Hora along with other Israeli dances to celebrate our success of this fundraiser.
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 by Thursday, February 6,
and she
will be sure to put it
towards your student's class efforts.

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.
