FINALS

By Rivkah Newman

From the 24th to the 26th of January, the high schoolers had their first Final Examinations of the year. As most of you know, the Finals can be a difficult and stressful time for both the students and teachers. From my personal experience, it was a nerve wracking but a relief when they ended. Moreover, there is a great sense of achievement knowing that all the hard work invested had paid off. It was very helpful not having any class or other school work to contend with during the exams since it makes it easier to focus on just the Finals rather than stress about submitting other work. All the teachers were very helpful and tried their best to make the Finals as stress-free as possible. The breakfast and snacks before and after the exams also contributed in making the examinations as surmountable as Finals can be. 

STUDENT COUNCIL  

By Lila Levin

Student council members, Charna Greenman, Tali Weingarten, Rochi Lewkowitz, and Lila Levin meet with Ms. Zahoryin once a month to discuss how they can make the Hebrew Academy an even better school. During the most recent meeting, a number of proposals were discussed, including the possibility of a canteen, a coffee cart, and the formation of a sports team. A new "Lost and Found" center was also considered to help ensure that mislaid items are easily reunited with the owner. Although it is far into the school year, we are especially excited about the prospect of a high school sports team so that students can learn new skills outside of school. More details to follow soon!
