Of course, we are still waiting to post photos from our reunion on Friday last week. We had about 30 ex-pupils visit us at the school. It was heartwarming to see and hear how Tabeetha has influenced the lives of so many special people. Many stories and memories were shared, which made the day really memorable.
We are nearing the end of a really busy week! We started the week with Eid-ul-fitr celebrations, marking the end of Ramadan for the Muslim members of the Tabeetha and Jaffa community. On Tuesday, grade 3 had a lesson in modes of human powered transport and had races out on the playground (running, roller-blades and bicycles). A great object lesson! Today we had our Student Council back-to-school BBQ. Well done to our SC and senior pupils for such a great job. The atmosphere was wonderful, the food was excellent (meat donated by a local ex-Tabeetha butcher in Jaffa) and organisation practically flawless. We even had a staff vs. pupils football match (I still don't know who won the game!)
We look forward to a long weekend this weekend, as Monday is Yom Kippur, when the entire country shuts down for 24 hours. Our daylight savings time ends on Saturday night, when we turn the clocks back one hour.
To the Jewish members of the Tabeetha and Jaffa community - G'mar hatima tovah - "May your finished sealing be good."
