Hello friends and supporters
Ofarim school for students on the autistic spectrum in Haifa has opened a new year. This year we grown up with new three first grades, and now we have ten classes.
The first period of the year is an holiday period.
We celebrated Rosh Hashanah (New Year) at a school ceremony. The students prepared greeting cards, ate an apple with honey, and blessed all of us with a sweet and a good year.
Towards Yom Kippur, the day we ask forgiveness and forgive our acts from the passing year, third grade students went to Jerusalem to the Western Wall and prayed that the next year would be better than the previous ones.
We celebrated Sukkot holiday in a large Sukkah in the school. The students prepared miniature Sukkot in the classroom and blessed the four species.
Our school aims to promote the health of students, encourage and educate for sports and physical activity. We opened a running group, and they joined and took part in a soccer game with the Haifa team.
We also like to share the stort of a joint activity with the Israeli Police. The students came to the Police station last week for orientation, the police took them on a tour, talked about the various activities, told them about their responsibility and took them for a ride on a police horses.
I like to thanl you all for the great support to our school and kids. We are continue to seek for additional donations to enhance our playground and the technological facility in the classroom.
Help us reach our donation goal.
