Dear Parents, Being that the Toddlers are very light sleepers we ask that you do not enter the classroom to pick up your child if he/she is to be picked up before 3:00 pm. Please knock gently on the door and the teacher will gather your child with his/her things and bring him/her out to you. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
Please see attached for the November lunch menu. Shabbat Shalom!
Unfortunately, Mrs. Olla flew to Texas today due to the sudden passing of her brother. If you can help with carpool this week for two Olla children (Toddler class and Pre K class) to transport to and from school please reply to this email and/or call the school office at 845 634 0951 and ask for Mrs. Perline (ext. 109). The Ollas live on the way to school for most people so it shouldn't be out of the way.

Mazal Tov to The Hebrew Academy student, Yonatan Ratson, 6th Grade, 2nd Place Winner in Artscroll's WRITE, DRAW AND WIN CONTEST! Yonatan was awarded $350 to purchase Artscroll books. Yonatan's story was chosen from among 2,000 other entries from over 100 schools in United States, England and Israel.

On 28 Nissan, 5770, The Hebrew Academy students learned about this special date. ‘28’ is the numerical value of the word ‘koach’ and Nissan is a month of especial ‘koach’ – strength and power. The 28th of Nissan is the ‘strength of the strength,’ so to speak, and therefore is a powerful day on which to make a resolution. On this day The Hebrew Academy students pledged to help bring Moshiach closer. They said: To make this world a better place I will… Pre Schoolers said: …smile a lot today. …put money in the Tzedaka box. …plant flowers. …pick up the toys.
