Little Shop of Shushan!

Congratulations to the 8th Grade class on their incredible performance of "Little Shop of Shushan"! They did a stellar job singing, acting, and putting in an amazing effort and energy over the past couple of months. All of their hard work really paid off.  Special thanks to theater director (and HAMC alum :) ), Dee Dee Katchen for directing the play and pulling it all together.

DVD's of the play are available for purchase and a flyer is being sent home with more information.

Enjoy the photos of our 8th grade actors and actresses!

Alumni Social

On Monday evening, before the 8th grade Purim play, HAMC alumni from the classes of '11, '10 and '09 hung out at the academy after school.  They ate pizza, reconnected with their old teachers and reminisced about their great times spent at the HAMC.  Afterwards everyone went to the Purim play together and supported their younger classmates.  We can't believe that pretty soon those 8th graders on stage will be joining the HAMC alumni circle!

100 Days and Counting!

On Friday, March 2nd, the Kindergarten and 1st grade celebrated the 100th day of school.  They gathered in the auditorium and had a blast participating in six different creative movement activities, all done in units of 100.  How many times can you jump rope in 100 seconds? Can you keep a hula-hoop up for 100 seconds?  The celebration culminated with a popcorn story that ended with a delicious popcorn snack. Everyone had a blast to the 100th degree!

We know you've missed it....
Moreh Moshe's Head of School Message!

Young women from Israel who are training to become teachers, visited the HAMC to learn all about our school and how Hebrew is implemented into the curriculum. 

Let's just say they were impressed :)

Read Across America Day!

Since the beginning of January, our students have taken a pledge of reading and embarked on the “Read Across America” journey, led by school librarian, Mrs. Sulkin.  With pages of books representing miles, the students had to“travel” all over the country, starting from the Empire State Building in NYC and ending at the Hollywood sign in Hollywood, CA.  Students in every grade have been reading as many books as possible, attempting to reach the goal of 2, 970 miles (pages)!! 

Yesterday, in celebration of “Read Across of America”, the entire HAMC took part in a school-wide DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) session.  For twenty minutes, every student in the school took a seat in the long hallway with a book in hand, sitting in silence and enjoying the simple pleasure of reading. Following the DEAR session, an ice cream social was held in celebration of the many “miles” our students have traveled.

Purim Puppets

It turns out puppeteering is the best way to retell the Purim story! Our 1st and 2nd grader's eyes were glued to the stage as Rabbi Rosenblum used life-like puppets to tell the tale of Purim.  From Haman's funny accent to Achashverosh's hilarious hiccups, the kids were rolling on the floor with laughter and booing with all their strength at any utterance of Haman's name.  They can't wait to hear the actual story from the Megillah next week!

Tis the Season for Humantashen

Our 1st graders got messy in the Kitchen this morning making delicious homemade Humantashen. The incredible aroma filled the hallways of the HAMC, getting everyone pumped for Purim next week!

Post what creative costumes your children are dressing up as!
