Senior year at SKA is an experience you wait for, well, for four years! The Class of 2024 is starting off strong. From welcoming the girls on the first day of school with decorations and posters, to leading Friday morning ruach and kugel and exhibiting an amazing upper-classman positive vibe. Lisa Fogel,12th grade social worker, is a strong believer in empowering each and every student to reach new heights. Ms. Fogel, the 12th grade GLAs, and the programming team, have been working on a senior class grade-wide leadership trip, to allow each girl to learn more about themselves, their friends, and the grade as a whole. The seniors started their Leadership Trip with team building activities led by Rabbi Tani Prero. The program was designed to strengthen, galvanize, and prepare our 12th graders for their role as school leaders.
While the 12th graders enjoyed their trip, the freshmen were treated to a trip of their own. Encouraging achdus and camaraderie, the ninth graders participated in a graffiti art project, as well as cooperative games and team building with Rabbi Prero. Bringing it all together, the freshmen and seniors came together for a boat ride, where the grades mingled and got to know one another. Each freshman was paired with a senior…a “Stella Sister,” as part of our Stella K B’lev Echad program. The girls experienced the power of teamwork, and realized how much more they can accomplish when working together. A core tenet at SKA.
In preparation for Rosh HaShanah, the whole school gathered to perform Hatarat Nedarim, with a Beis Din composed of our SKA Rabbinic staff. The girls then viewed the U’nesaneh Tokef video compiled by Graphic Design teacher Mrs. Jordana Mallin.
Wishing Klal Yisroel a Shanah Tovah U’mesuka!
