JKHA Lower School Kicks Off Theme of the Year—JKHA Smiles!

As part of the Sukkot programming in JKHA, students met with the interim lower school psychologist Dr. Gorelick for a program to announce the theme of the year—JKHA Smiles! After a social emotional check in of their weeks discussing what was on their minds and what they are happy or upset about, Dr. Gorelick discussed this year’s theme through a show and tell scavenger hunt. This year, every time acts of chesed, or positive actions, are done by students, they will receive smile cards that will get cashed in as a class for prizes. The divisions will join together during the year as a community to smile and share moments and actions b’simcha—especially pertinent to Sukkot’s zman simchateinu. The theme for the year will show students all the many ways to smile and to show their smiles this year, even under their masks!
