The Tu B'shvat spirit was flowing through the halls of the HAMC yesterday as the entire school attended an all day Tu B'Shvat program in the auditorium. When the students walked in, an authentic Tu B'shvat Seder was waiting for them, with a table adorned with the Sheva Minim (7 Species); wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives, and dates. Everything tasted delicious! The younger grades created delicious edible "dirt" and planted seeds in real soil, followed by an energetic scavenger hunt to find the materials to "grow a tree".
Later in the day, our middle school had some special visitors from Lester Senior Housing. Mrs. Knapp organized a beautiful art project using colorful paints and white canvases to create different nature scenes (flowers, trees, sunsets, etc.). The student's artistic talents emerged and the final products were incredible (see photos below!). Before the seniors left, Moreh Moshe joined the students in serenading our visitors with some spirit-filled Tu B'shvat songs. Everyone had a great time and it was a wonderful celebration of the day.
