This week went by as usual, everyone trying really hard to get points for "just do it". It's an exciting program where everyone does various things... IE. learn a sicha, to get points. Points earn you your name in raffles for great prizes, and we will be going on fun trips. The grand prize is..... a trip to ISRAEL!!!!

On Wednesday we had a small program for Rochel Imeinu's Yartziet. The whole school was divided into groups of 3 or 4. Each group was then given a plate with snacks and candy. Then they were given a paper with something about Rochel Imeinu on it. Using the food they had to portray what was written on the paper. Then we all went around and had to guess what they each were it was awesome!!! [Ed. note: see the photo gallery for pictures of these food creations!]

Some girls were placed out among the community for the Shabbos day meal and of course Had a good time. Overall, the week was amazing!

Welcome Home

Everyone started piling in the dorm throughout the day, unpacking and getting resettled in their home away from home.

Tuesday brought everyone back to reality of the life as a full-time student at Bnos Rabbeinu. At the end of the day everybody was back to normal, their calendars were loaded with homework, detentions, tests and more...

Wednesday was an amazing day as normal...!!!

Thursday with a smashing "sisters" program arranged by our "sisters" heads Sheina Weingarten and Miri Hus. During this program we all made stunning friendship bracelets or necklaces for our sisters.

Shabbos Bereshis found us all saying Tehillim and doing things we wanted throughout the whole year..

Sunday we had a program that was bringing out the theme of the month, which is....... Mivtzoyim. They broke it out by dividing the school into 10 groups and we all had a topic we had to make a skit about such as neshek... tzedaka... that's how we found out the theme was Mivtzoyim!!

That's all for now come back next week to see the fun and excitement that went on in the greatest school, Bnos Rabbeinu!

Since the beginning of the year we've had a lot of really cool programs. The first day of school we all piled onto a bus to go ice skating. The theme of the year is Hands Up, and we played a really cute game to figure it out. Tuesday in the first week of school we had our first class of electives. We had a choice of Art (drawing & painting), Photography and Gym. [Samples of art and photography will be posted in the photo gallery periodically]

Shabbos is really awesome, everyone helps out, making food and setting up. It's really nice with everyone sitting around, singing and telling stories.

Every 2ND Friday we have grade farbrengens at Mrs. Turen's house, and every other Motzi Shabbos we have school farbrengens in the dorm.

The 2ND week of school all the committees were put up & we had our first Ribbit activity (Random game on the theme of the month-Tefillah) Each group got 50 cents and 12 minutes to go around to stores around school to find the most original stuff and connect it with the theme.

Sunday night was our 1st chassidish Yom Tov. To get into the mood we all made candles for the Alter Rebbe's Birthday- Shnai-Or. Then we all sat down to a delicious candle-lit meal of chicken, couscous, green beans and egg rolls. The we played a game to give us all the information on what happened on Chai Elul. Later we had a speaker, Dina Katz from New Haven, she said some really inspiring stories and ideas.

The next morning we learned and heard a few personal Igros stories before writing in.

Afterwards we had an amazing brunch of bagels, lox, butternut squash soup, noodles and cheese, vegetables and orange juice. We were then split up into 3 groups and went to different places to do mivtzoim. Later we had a closing Farbrengen on what we gained, how we were inspired, and what to take out of it and bring with us. It was a really incredible day!

Just last week to find out our sisters we had a BB-Q. Thursday after school we all went to the park for Salad, Hot Dogs and French Fries. We all found out our sisters and played a whole sister Machanayim game.

Everyone is excited for the up coming Rosh Hashana, And plans are being made.

Kasima Vichasima Tova and have a sweet new year.
From the students at Bnos Rabbeinu.
