Finally a full week of school!

ASK YOUR CHILD:

 1) ...about Jordan's Important Person activity (dry ice)
2) ...about our seed planting
3) ...Is anything in our house symmetrical?
4) ...What plants can we eat?
5) ...What are the parts of a plant?  (root, stem, leaves, flower, seeds)
6) ...What was given to Moses when he climbed to the top of Mount Sinai?

Thank you to Jordan's family; Deborah, Daniel and brother Jacob for coming in to do an activity about solid, liquid and gas.  The class was fascinated by the dry ice!

The Middle School After School Drama Elective will be presenting "The Trumpet of the Swan" in November and the students are hard at work staging, designing, creating and learning many theater skills that can be used during the performance process.  The following information has been submitted by our Grade 8 Student Officers who are members of the International Thespian Society (ITS) in the Rashi Middle School Theater Program.  As we get ready for our Fall show, we’d like to share a little bit about how we’ve been preparing for it in the tech booth. The lighting system is mostly up and running again as it was taken down at the end of last year for lighting maintenance. We’ve been working to arrange it in a way that is comfortable for the technicians in the Tech Booth to be able to program the lights for the show. We’ve also been gathering and designing the sound cues, and we’re getting ready to program them into the soundboard.  Ari I - ITS President - Class of '24 In the

Spotlight on the Lower School Show

This year I have had the opportunity to work with the lower school students on their wonderful After School fall show, The Twelve Dancing Princesses . I am the Production Assistant for the show. As somebody who has worked with Bonny in the Rashi School Theater Program for a very long time, I love seeing all the students show their love for theater every Monday. It brings me so much joy when I get to work with them and give them acting advice, the helpful tips and tricks that I was taught when I was younger by the student leader helping out. I love being able to work with the students and gain closer bonds with them as both a regular student and a role model. I choose to work with these students because I know how fun and exciting drama can be especially when you are a part of a younger age group. I feel like the older you get the more awkward or ¨embarrassing” certain shows and roles can be, which can affect your acting because it might be a little out of your comfort zone. This parti
