Yom Hashoah Assembly
This past Monday we gathered to mark Yom Hashoa'a Ve-hagvurah- Holocaust Remembrance Day. We were honored to have with us several survivors who have become part of the fabric of our school's community. The assembly was attended by middle school and high school students, teachers, parents and guests. The assembly combined historical data with inspirational readings, prayers, music,poetry and song.
Every grade was represented by our outstanding students, starting with the 6th graders who read a psalm, the 7th graders who read a poem and students from every grade in the high school who read poetry and sang. Thank you to Ms. Luel, our music teacher, who selected moving songs.
We closed the assembly with a special ritual of dropping rocks into a bowl in silence. Every rock made an audible sound that represented a lost life. We trust that this assembly left a permanent mark on the heart and mind of our students.
