EC Friendship Day was filled with smiles, kindness, and creativity! Our young learners had a blast making friendship bracelets with their parents, celebrating the joy of connection and the importance of being a good friend. We kicked off Shabbat bags, encouraging families to welcome Shabbat together. At AHA, we believe friendships formed in these early years can last a lifetime, and teaching kindness, empathy, and inclusion helps lay the foundation for strong relationships. Thank you to all the parents who joined us for this special day! Share your photos of Friendship Day and your Shabbat play dates with us on social using #myahamoment.

Fifth grade is diving into an in-depth study of volcanoes, focusing on the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens. Through hands-on learning, students used two-dimensional contour maps to construct three-dimensional models, visualizing how the mountain changed before and after the eruption. This project combines critical thinking, geography, and scientific observation, reinforcing key concepts in an engaging and interactive way.
