Maccabi Games Is Tomorrow! Here's What You Need to Know
The Heilicher Maccabi Games (field day) is tomorrow, Friday, May 27. Please send your child(ren) to school in their team color. Students do not need to bring any of their regular school supplies or large backpacks, and we encourage them to come with just a small bag big enough to hold sunscreen, at least one mask (as some activities will be indoors), a refillable water bottle, and any food.
LUNCH/SNACK
Lunch and a morning snack will be provided for all students free of charge. If you opted out of lunch for your student(s), please pack them a pareve or dairy lunch. Morning snack will consist of clementines, apples, and applesauce. If you want to send a different snack for your child(ren), please feel free to do so.
DISMISSAL AT 2 P.M.
Dismissal and HaBonim will start at 2 p.m. Students will be dismissed from the field rather than their classrooms.
If you are unable to join us outside for Kabbalat Shabbat at 1 p.m., we ask that at dismissal you drive to the field and form a car line along the edge of the field, starting at the large rock. Please stay in your car and put your blue sign in the window as you normally would.
Those of you who join us for Kabbalat Shabbat (more information below) will wait for students to gather with their homeroom teachers or advisors and then sign out with them.
JOIN US
There are still opportunities to help with Maccabi Games! Sign up for a shift between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m.
As a reminder, all parents are welcome to celebrate Kabbalat Shabbat and our Heilicher alumni high school seniors with us from 1 to 2 p.m at the field. Kabbalat Shabbat will start at 1 p.m., and the "senior walk" with our high school class of 2022 alumni is at 1:30 p.m.

Torah Thoughts and Pirkei Avot with Doc
Read a brief message about this week's Torah portion, Parashat B'chukotai. How is communal good an incentive for individual good.
As we continue to count the Omer with the study of Pirkei Avot (Chapters/Ethics of the Fathers), consider Avot 5:5 and taking up space.
