Each year we celebrate the special people in our lives by hosting Special Person's Day.  This year, our Chanukah-themed program will take place on December 19th.  The whole school is preparing for this special day by decorating for Chanukah.  We can't wait to celebrate with our special friends and family members on December 19th!
EC through Kindergarten students enjoyed playing fun Thanksgiving-themed games on the playground last week. Middle School students helped them participate in each station by teaching them the rules.  Everyone had a great time celebrating this fun holiday.  We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends!
8th Grade students are working hard to fundraise for their spring trip to Israel!  They spent Sunday afternoon at Barnes and Noble celebrating Chanukah a little early and promoting their book fair.   Thank you to everyone who came out to participate in their fundraising efforts!  If you weren't able to make it out to the store this past weekend, you can still support their trip by making a purchase on barnesandnoble.com and using the code 12276606. 
DAY OF LEARNING
This week's Torah learning is sponsored in merit of the speedy recovery of Fay Novit-Grabin. Thank you to all of our many sponsors for their contributions. 
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Candlelighting: 4:54 pm - Shabbat Ends: 5:55 pm
Friends of the Academy - It is the time of year when we kick off our annual campaign, Friends of the Academy.  As you may know, this campaign helps to support our school and provides needed funds for programs, tuition assistance, salaries, and facilities, just to name a few.  It is important that we have 100% family participation. "All in" participation exhibits pride in our students, staff and school. We suggest a minimum gift of $18 to the campaign, but of course any amount is most appreciated. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask Libby Fox.  Thank you in advance for your help in making this FOA campaign successful.
Special Person's Day - All students from Tiny Tots to 8th grade are invited to ask a "Special Person" to join them for our annual Special Person's Day on Tuesday, December 19th from 10:45am to 12:00pm.  Special People will enjoy Chanukah themed activities while spending the morning with our students.  We are excited to celebrate with all the special people in our lives and look forward to seeing everyone there!

Sponsor a Day of Learning - In Jewish practice, an important way to honor someone or to elevate one's soul is to learn on their behalf.  At Addlestone, you can sponsor a Day of Learning in honor or memory of family and friends in our community beyond.  Proceeds benefit the annual Friends of the Academy Campaign and the 8th Grade trip to Israel.  For more information on how to sponsor a Day of Learning, please click here!
