Kids at HANC prep for Purim

In the spirit of “Mi Shnichnas Adar Marbin B’Simcha,” students at the Hebrew Academy of Nassau County’s Samuel & Elizabeth Bass Golding Elementary School & Early Childhood Center welcomed the month of Adar with tremendous enthusiasm and simcha!

Students in kindergarten through second grade at the West Hempstead school enjoyed a Musical Minds program led by Sara Schonfeld. The students learned about different kinds of drums and how to create music using different methods of striking the drums.

Third through Sixth graders had a fabulous Rosh Chodesh chagiga filled with music and dancing led by music teacher Rabbi Shapiro. In fact, the room was filled with so much singing, dancing and fun that the walls and floors were shaking! Morah Jacobs and the fifth grade girls had a fantastic time showing off their crazy hats while they danced and sang their way through the classrooms!

Students at the ECC were treated to a huge Rosh Chodesh celebration with Oneg Shemesh. During the celebration all the students received graggers and noise makers and then enjoyed delicious Hamentashen. 

The students at the ECC are also very busy getting ready for Purim. Students are learning about the megillah and dressing up to reenact the story of Purim. Students are also excited to be making their own megillot and graggers to use at shul.

Chodesh Tov and Purim Sameach to everyone!
