Dear Chagall Elementary School Families,

We have exciting plans for our schoolwide end-of-year/holiday celebration!
1/16

Sivan break begins on Fifthday this week, so please take a break from your yom tov preparations and join us this evening for some #seasonal family fun at Chagall Elementary.
2/16

Our schoolwide celebration this Sivan will feature games, foods, and activity stations. Parents and guardians are encouraged to take a break from yom tov prep and join us on Fourthday evening to make our #holiday #party special!

3/16

The holiday #cheesecake bake-off will have dairy and vegan categories. All dairy cheesecakes should be chalav yisrael in accordance with our #PublicSchool’s kashrut policy.
4/16

Cheesecake entries should have been dropped off on Fourthday morning for our judges, and the winners will be announced at the school party in the evening.
5/16

At the #holiday cupcake decorating table, we will be making cupcake mountains with flowers and clouds! Students may also choose to add #secular #legal #tablets to the top of their mountain.
6/16

Bring plenty of tissue paper, pipe cleaners, old buttons, and clean plastic bottles, because we will be making beautiful flowers out recycled household items!
7/16

Students may use their flowers for a festive centerpiece, a crown, or a napkin ring to use at home this #HolidaySeason.

At the safrut table, students will have a chance to try their hand at calligraphic writing on real parchment with a quill!
8/16

Light boxes will be used to help students trace the special stam forms of the Hebrew letters. Make a bookmark to hold your place during your #Shavuot learning!
9/16

Several traditional texts will be available for copying at the calligraphy station, but #gentile students may choose to bring their own Hebrew text to copy, or they may simply write their name in Hebrew at this station.
10/16

The coloring station will offer paper placemats with various fun #seasonal designs! Students may choose from mountains, flowers, or the seven species (examples attached: grapes, figs, wheat, olives); these designs come pre-printed from the supplier.
11/16

Because we care about #inclusion and we love being #allies to our #Gentile friends, Gentile students are welcome to choose one of our regular #seasonal #designs, or else turn over the placemat and color the back with their own holiday symbols.
12/16

Stencils of rabbits and fir trees and extra yellow crayons will be provided.
13/16

Since the Sivan celebration will be held around dinnertime, delicious dairy and vegan dinners will be served outdoors. Enjoy #blintzes, #lasagna, #kezadas, and of course, plenty of #IceCream!
14/16

Shomer treyf students may eat their dinners at the separate table with a yellow tablecloth.
15/16

I know we’re all going to have a great day, and Chag Sameach to EVERYONE!
