Shulamith celebrates Adar! Good times

Adar is a time of simcha, and in the Middle Division of Shulamith School for Girls, the students have been celebrating the month with a series of fun-filled activities.

To begin, the G.O. planned a succession of dress up days starting with Crazy Hat Day on Rosh Chodesh. Students came in with silly hats and zany wigs (pictured above), some of them even lit up. A few days later, it was time for the ever-popular annual Dress-up-as-a-Teacher-Day (pictured at left).

As the enthusiastic girls came to school, davened, and waited to get changed, no one could sit still. Sheitels, shirts, skirts, shoes and glasses were all used to make help transform students into their favorite teachers.  

On Thursday, the talented eighth graders traveled to the Lower Division where they ran the annual Purim carnival, sponsored by the Shulamith Women’s Organization. The theme of the carnival was Disney, so each eighth grader dressed as a Disney character.

The SWO treated the school to more rides than ever before, and a wonderful time was had by all. We were privileged to be joined during the festivities by our friends from Kulanu who came for a short while to celebrate with us.

 After the carnival, the G.O. did not let the students down, and everyone enjoyed two more dress up days. On Preppy Day, students wore ties, glasses, blazers and braids and, as a final treat, wore favorite Purim costumes on the day before Ta’anit Esther.

Adar in Shulamith brought smiles to everyone’s faces.
