"Ofarim" school for students on the autistic spectrum in Haifa is a school that combines a variety of cultures and promotes integration in the community. During this period we marked the Day of Good Deeds. A regiment of soldiers arrived and did joint activities with the students, which included a trip and a game.
We went on an annual trip to Ein Shemer. The students enjoyed a tractor ride, a train ride, visiting the museum, and preparing food based on reciepts from the first settlement time.
On the subject of culture in the school, we took the students to a show outside of school and enjoyed the theater special athmosphere. The show was using shades as a mean to express feelings which was very interesting to experience. We also got lucky to see a dance performance of an elementary school from Haifa, and a Passover performance by the school's senior students.
We celebrated Purim in a costume carnival. We set out for a festive parade throughout the school neighborhood. The students enjoyed the arrival of a makeup artist and a dance party.
Passover was also celebrated through watching a play of the senior class in school. We prepared matzot (Passover bread) and arranged a school "Leil haseder" together.
I would like to thank you all for the great support to our school and kids.
