Student Government Elections


 

Student Government Elections


 For the past two weeks Abrams students’ attention was focused on election season. Posters papered hallway walls, candidates campaigned feverishly. On Monday afternoon, November 10th, the 4th-8th grade student body gathered to hear wonderful speeches delivered by the candidates. 

Every candidate gave it his/her all, putting tremendous drive and enthusiasm into the races. They should all be congratulated for their effort.

On Wednesday morning the 12th, students cast their ballots to select the Abrams Hebrew Academy Student Government for 2014-2015:

President — Benjamin Doshna

Vice President — Ethan Schuman

Treasurer — Alyssa Simmens

Secretary — Emma Gobora

Publicity Coordinator — Yair Berzofsky

8th Grade Representative — Naomi Shifman

7th Grade Representative — Eric Dolitsky

6th Grade Representative — Moriah Eley

5th Grade Representatives — David Goldfarb and Sam Sherman

Congratulations to Everyone!

Special Program with IDF Soldiers

Special Presentation by IDF Officers

 

Thursday, December 11, 2014

 

5:00 pm-7:00 pm

 

Abrams is happy to present a very special and unique opportunity for our students and AHA families to attend a presentation by a special delegation of IDF officers who served most recently in the conflict in Gaza, Operation Suk Eitan. 

The officers will describe the conflict faced by Israel this summer, discussing the conflicts of soldiers in the battlefield and the struggle Israel continues to face in world opinion.

These brave soldiers represent all aspects of the Israeli military including ground forces, air force and the Israeli navy.  They have all been awarded symbols of recognition of valor in battle, risking their lives to save others and making critical decisions under fire to organize and succeed in intense battles.

*Attendance by 7th and 8th grade students is mandatory. Students will share a light dinner with the soldiers at 5 pm, followed by a presentation by the IDF officers. 

 

The presentation is open to the entire AHA community.

**Parents must arrange to pick up their children promptly at 7:00 pm!

Connect in a Flash-Jewish

 

Abrams students are invited to “Like” the site “Connect in a Flash-Jewish” on Facebook and participate in themed photography with other Jewish teens from around the world.

Connect in a Flash is an on-line site created by Peri Feldstein, a Princeton high school student, to enable Jewish teens to share photos, Jewish experiences, and friendship no matter where they live.

Safety and Security Reminders

Just a reminder of AHA security procedures:

 

  • All parents should use the front door to enter the school with key cards and not the back doors. Parent swipe cards only work at front door.
  • Please do not ask students to open any doors- parents must report to the front office and check-in before entering the school.
  • No student or other person should use the lunchroom doors other than for dismissal or emergency purposes.

These rules are for our children’s safety.

 

 

Thank you for your cooperation!


  

Car Pool Rules 

All Parents who Car Pool:

 

Please note that the car pool line is for grades N and K only. All other students are to be dropped off in the front of the building.

 

Parents who use the back for drop off should follow the directions of the teachers in the parking lot. They are there to assist students and maintain a safe environment.  

 

Under no circumstances are parents to park their cars in the middle of the line and leave them unattended to walk students into the building.  

 

** We ask that parents refrain from cellphone use in the parking areas while dropping off and picking up their children.

In order to maintain a consistent kashrut policy and to avoid confusion, ALL orders for birthday cakes/cupcakes MUST be ordered from Cramer’s Bakery, 16 E. Afton Avenue, Yardley. Cramer’s will deliver the order to the school at a discounted price.
