Last week, Yavneh Academy sixth graders had the privilege to join the Jewish Home at Rockleigh for their Olympics games. Activities such as bowling, volleyball and ball throwing were all played from wheelchairs while Yavneh students assisted the residents. They cheered them on, encouraged them and even transported them from their rooms and around the social hall. The staff at the home then asked the students to sing some songs. The students spontaneously put their heads together and came up with some beautiful songs to sing. It was wonderful seeing how students put their hearts into this visit. The Yavneh students gained even more than they gave.
