Naaleh students embraced their first Chanukah with nonstop fun, song, dance, creativity, bonding and laughter. The student-led Yom Tov committee, CHAP, took charge to devise a week of amazing activities that cultivated school spirit and connectedness. From an inspiring Chanukah shiur from Bethany Strulowitz, to sweater decorating and menorah themed Cupcake Wars to the unforgettable glow-in-the-dark chagiga with a silent DJ, the students experienced the palpable excitement and energy of Chanukah, putting the finishing touches on each event. The festivities were capped off with a gradewide Chanukah party at Mrs. Fuchs’ house, where students played, sang, enjoyed a delicious dinner and exchanged “Mystery Maccabee” gifts. In a year full of firsts, the first Chanukah as a Naaleh family was one to beat.
