We're Back!

This Week's 4 Pictures from SCY High!

1: Yitzchak Curiel working on an in-class essay
As part of our Literature and Composition course, students spend time reading and analyzing a wide range of literary texts. This week, students are reading Ernest Hemingway's classic short story, "Hills Like White Elephants" and will spend time, in class, analyzing and writing about the complex relationship that exists between the story's main characters. This type of in-class analysis and writing teaches students to be able to think and write in controlled environments. This prepares them for standardized tests like the SATs and AP tests, as well as university literature courses.

2: Students from our junior class enjoying a celebratory lunch "on the house"
The House of Study (beit midrash) that is 😄
As part of our Shnayim Mikra Initiative, students who completed Parshat Vayeshev were honored with a free lunch (speak to our Economics teacher about whether it was truly free) - there was one catch, however: In order to qualify for the reward, every student in the class needed to complete the parsha or no one would get the prize. We're so proud of all the students who completed the parsha (nearly 90% of the students did so!) but we're extra proud of the junior class who worked together to support each other and earn this prize!

3: Uriel Green (Class of 2018) in his IDF uniform
Uriel is proudly representing SCY High and the San Diego Jewish community in the IDF as part of the Garin Tzabar program. Uriel recently made Aliyah to Israel in order to join the IDF through Garin Tzabar. Garin Tzabar is a program that facilitates service in the Israel Defense Forces and provides a support system for Israelis and Diaspora Jews who do not have parents in Israel. We're so proud of you Uriel!

4: Liam and Aliza Aron celebrating their marriage with Rabbi Adatto!
Mazal tov to Liam (Class of 2014) and Aliza Aron on their wedding! We wish you only simcha and nachat in your new lives together!
Mazal tov to proud parents and pillars of the SCY High community, Mike and Karen Aron!
Mazal Tov to Liam's brothers, Joey (Class of 2016); Eli (Class of 2019); and Nadav (SCY High Class of 2025); and to the whole Aron and Pahmer families!
We wish you all much nachat and simcha!
