OJCS Maccabiah Games this Friday!!

Posted on by Andréa Black
We’re so excited that we’re back to enjoying Maccabiah together and in person! This exciting day is on Friday, JUNE 10th, and is going to be a great day of teamwork, friendship, and sportsmanship.
One of the components of Maccabiah is fundraising – where our students reach out to family members and friends to ask them to support their team! This year we’re hoping that each family (not student) can raise $100 – which goes directly to support OJCS scholarships. As a special incentive, the CLASS that raises the most will win a special FREAKY FRIDAY on June 17! Popsicles? A third recess? PJ day? Movie day? A dance party? It’ll be up to them! We hope the kids will call aunts/uncles/grandparents and others who may want to support their efforts to not only support our school, but to help them win that exciting Freaky Friday prize.
The Maccabiah theme is year is Movies and SK is on TEAM BLUE – Luca…. simply click on that link and share it with friends and family to collect donations in support of OJCS and to help our class win a Freaky Friday!!
Don’t forget to wear BLUE on Friday and get ready for an awesome, ruach-filled day!!!

Next week, March 14-18, is Ruach (Spirit) Week at OJCS!!  We wanted to ensure that you and your child have lots of time to prepare, so please see the poster below for each day’s theme…. For Whatever Your Class Wants Wednesday, the class voted today and decided on a Book/Movie Character Day.  We can’t wait to see all of the creative costumes next week and of course to celebrate Purim on Thursday!!

A reminder that this is the last week that we will be offering the Hyflex learning option.  Please see the information below to see what to do in the event your child needs to stay home moving forward….

Have a wonderful week!!

Happy Chanukah from SK!

Posted on by Andréa Black

It is has been a great few weeks celebrating Chanukah in Kindergarten!! From singing, dancing, eating yummy treats, and getting crafty, to practicing the brachot, Dreidel math and learning Chanukah vocabulary words in French & Hebrew, there has been tons of ruach-filled fun in our class!! Check out our Chanukah picture gallery below.  In case you missed the SK performance during last Thursday’s school-wide Chanukah Showcase, you can watch it (and the rest of the classes too) here:

We hope you all had a fantastic holiday with your families and we just wanted say thank you for the very generous Bayshore gift cards we received!!

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

Parent-Teacher Conferences will be taking place this Thursday, Dec. 9 and Friday, Dec. 10.  Dismissal on Thursday is at 2:00 pm and there is NO SCHOOL on Friday.

Now that the snow has officially arrived, we thought we should clarify our Outdoor Play plan for the winter months.  If it is colder than -20 (with or without the windchill), we will not be playing outdoors. We will be using the Weather Network to determine the temperature.  As with rainy days, if there is no one on the playground at 8:30, please bring your child to drop-off at the front door.  While we will strive to get outside as much as possible, we will take advantage of the gym or other indoor physical activities when the weather is not cooperating.

Have a great week!

The SK team
