After missing out on last year’s color war, the Yeshivat Noam middle school was thrilled to compete in this year’s long-anticipated battle between Team Torah (blue) and Team Avodah (orange). Led by a group of all-star captains, students competed in a wide range of activities—from classics such as see-run-build and bucket brigade; intense sports such as kickball and soccer; less intense “sports” such as musical chairs and hide and seek; engineering challenges including maza design and paper airplane races; and trivia style competitions like “teacher or student” and chidon. Each cohort also competed in a creative arts production and the middle school talent was on full display as students danced, cheered, filmed, painted and stomped. Each team of eighth graders even wrote and performed a song, highlighting all they have learned and what they will miss about Yeshivat Noam. The school is so grateful to the middle school teachers who brought their creative expertise and dedication out in full force to plan a COVID-safe, yet full fun color war to the amazing students! Congrats to team Torah on their win!
