Odyssey of the Mind Team places Third in World Competition
Last week, Stephen S. Wise sent two Odyssey of the Mind teams to East Lansing Michigan to compete in the World Finals. They had already placed first and second respectively in regional and state competitions. Our Friday team placed eleventh and our Thursday team placed third. This places them among the top teams not only at this elite level of competition, but in the world.

Hunger does not take a summer vacation....
Before the final week of school, please fill the grocery bag your child brings home with at least eight Sova items, representing the eight weeks of our summer vacation. The children will bring their bags to the classroom, and on June 4 they will be displayed on the Bima in the Sanctuary to celebrate our value of feeding the hungry.

The SOVA truck will be here to take our donations and spread your mitzvot to those who are in need of basic necessities. Our community is the largest SOVA donor in the San Fernando Valley- let's keep our record with pride! All items are welcome-baby supplies, food cans, sunscreen, toiletries.

WPA UPDATES

Yom HaMoreh - Teachers Go On Memorable Safari
In honor of our amazing teaching staff, parents celebrated them with an escape to Africa themed celebration on Friday, May 28. Teachers were treated to gift bags in the morning. Then, ZH was completely transformed and teachers entered "Africa" to the beat of live drums. They feasted on delicious South African fare for lunch and tasty desserts. Special thanks to co-chairs, Cheryl Banton, Denise, Anstey, and Michelle Hess and VP, Sigalit Nechemia for conceiving a wonderful theme, creating a beautiful space, and providing the recipes for the yummy dishes. Additional thanks go to all of the parent volunteers who helped with set-up, lunch, and cleanup in ZH as well as parent volunteers who assisted in the classrooms. This was “An Affair to Remember” by all participants.
