~Day 5
Are you curious about what some people in our WMS community will be celebrating tonight? Tonight begins the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur.
Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the most important day in the Jewish Year. People over Bar/Bat Mitzvah age (around 13 years old) will do a fast, going without food or drink for 25 hours in order to spend time thinking about mistakes they have made in the past year, and ways they would like to improve in the coming one. People often spend the day at their Temple or Synagogue, and they end the holiday at sundown with a big “breakfast” meal with family and friends. You can wish someone observing this holiday an “easy fast.”
There are students and staff at WMS who will be observing this holiday. We wish all people at WMS observing this holiday an “easy fast.”
In observance of Yom Kippur, there will be no school tomorrow.
8th Graders: Counselors will be teaching a lesson on Leadership during your Science classes today.
Signs will be posted outside Science classrooms which detail the room you should attend for the lesson.
Join us in the cafeteria at 2:45 today for the annual WMS Activities Fair. Come see the clubs and meet the advisors who will run them.The late bus will be available for Boston students at 3:15 and for Wellesley students at 3:30. You can also find more information about the Clubs on the WMS website under the Quick Links section, followed by After School Clubs and Activities.
Have a great day!
