Wishing our families and community a Chag Pesach Same’ach.

Thank you to our families for helping us build so

Thank you to our families for helping us build so many Matzah Mountains with your donations of almost three thousand dollars! You have helped the National Council of Jewish Women feed the more than 2,000 families in our community who are struggling with food insecurity with your donations — it's a matzah mitzvah!

Our Grade 4s used their budding Design Thinking sk

Our Grade 4s used their budding Design Thinking skills in a Jewish Studies STEM project. They learned about how Bnei Israel had to adapt quickly to leave Egypt and walk in the desert for 40 years. They were asked to think about one thing that has been the hardest for them to adapt to in the age of COVID-19 and to create a prototype of an invention to help deal with the issue. Some of the creative examples they came up with included robots to shop for them in the supermarket and vending machines that supply hand sanitizer and masks.

In his Pesach message, Head of School Benjy Cohen

In his Pesach message, Head of School Benjy Cohen reflects on the messages he takes from the well-loved song, “Dayeinu." During the COVID pandemic, we have faced many challenges as individuals, as families and as a school community. Rather than lamenting these hardships, we can take our cue from "Dayeinu" and focus on the positive.

We partnered with @jacstoronto (Jewish Addiction C

We partnered with @jacstoronto (Jewish Addiction Community Service) to provide workshops for Senior Division students to discuss important issues, including addiction and mental health. We thank the JACS clients for lending their time to provide an honest account of their stories of addiciton and recovery. Their ability to be vulnerable and share their struggles is not something we take lightly — we are grateful for their transparency and inspired by their strength.

A physically-distant sports tournament? Staff memb

A physically-distant sports tournament? Staff member Aaron Rosenwald worked hard to coordinate a safe and exciting tennis tournment for our Senior Divison student cohorts at our Viewmount Branch. Only two students were allowed to play at a time and they had so much fun competing in their singles matches throughout the week. Thanks Barbara Bensimon and Rachel Cosman for your assistance!

We may not be able to eat crunchy matzah and sing

We may not be able to eat crunchy matzah and sing songs out loud in the gym like we have in year's past, but that didn't stop our SK - Grade 5 students from enjoying their model seders together on Zoom! They said the blessings, heard the music and played Passover eye-spy and other games.

For their final project in their forces unit, Grad

For their final project in their forces unit, Grade 3 students held their own science fair. They were challenged to create an experiment, toy, or game to demonstrate its use of a force to stop and start or change the direction of an object. The forces they could choose from included magnetism, static electricity, friction and push/pull. We loved seeing the creative concepts they came up with!

Our JK families turned their kitchens into matzah

Our JK families turned their kitchens into matzah factories on Grandparents and Special Friends Day! Not only did they learn how to bake crunchy matzah from scratch, but they enjoyed an intergenerational model seder, sharing the significance of the different items on the seder plate and singing the brachot and songs together.

C'est magnifique! Today we celebrated La Journée

C'est magnifique! Today we celebrated La Journée Nationale de la Langue Française. Grades 1-8 learned about French culture, including landmarks, food, the francophone world and idiomatic expressions. They enjoyed listening to French music and some even dressed up à l'esprit français, the French spirit! Students enjoyed a croissant for a true French treat, thanks to the Himel PTA!

Our Grade 1 students celebrated finishing learning

Our Grade 1 students celebrated finishing learning about the entire Aleph Bet with a classroom party. They enjoyed an array of activities, from letter games to crafts, including forming the Hebrew characters out of plasticine and pipe cleaners and making Aleph Bet crowns. They also enjoyed special cookies shaped like Hebrew characters. They have come such a long way since they started in September!

In a beautiful show of unity across the world's Jewish communities, our Senior Division students participated in the Seder Achim Gam Yachad Global Model Seder. They joined thousands of students from around the world to watch incredible performances and connect with their international peers. The event was held in memory of an inspiring leader of the Abadyudaya community and Principal of the Hadassah School in Uganda, Mr. Aaron Kintu Moses, who tragically died from COVID earlier this year.

Our Grade 2s got their hands dirty building terrariums out of recycled containers for a STEM experiment. Their goal was to add water only at the beginning and then they'd let the water cycle work its magic to sustain the growth of their plants.
