| Torah Academy Raffle was a Success |
|
Torah Academy's Scholarship Raffle raised close to $15,000 over the past 5 weeks. We greatly appreciate the hard work and dedication of the many parents, students and friends who sold and bought tickets on behalf of our Yeshiva. We also would like to thank the dedicated Raffle Committee of Mrs. Naomi Cohn, Mrs. Rivka Lindenberg, Dr. Jorie Lyons, and Mrs. Cornelle Selig for their leadership and assistance.
The internal Torah Academy raffle was won by Dr. and Mrs. Daniel Ettedgui who won a $100 gift certificate to Boomers and Dr. and Mrs. Baruch Ringelheim who won a $100 gift certificate to Boca Pita Express. The $50,000 drawing will be held in July. |

Our final week of school had many celebrations.
In closing the year, the fourth graders finished Sefer Bereshis and Maseches Succah and Megillah. "The fifth graders were outstanding in their learning of Gemara this year," said Rabbi Guttman. "Each of my students is a Ben Torah," he added.
After selling over 200 Torah Academy raffle tickets the fourth and fifth grade boys were treated to a Boca Pita Express lunch with Rabbi Guttman. |

The fourth grade girls earned a lunch at European Café after completing Sefer Bereshis. The fifth graders completed a mural on Parshas B'Shalach as a way to review the Pesukim as well as understand the Rashis. "I was so proud of my students and all of their motivation and hard work," said Mrs. Meth. |

Rabbi Englander's third graders voted to have an Oneg at their Rebbe's house last Shabbos. After the students earned a certain amount of points they were able to choose from any number of prizes, but all of them chose an Oneg with their Rebbe.
In addition to a Shabbos celebration, they also held an end-of-the year Chinese auction, where they turned in tickets and won lots of prizes for their davening, learning and hard work throughout the year. |

Rabbi Yachnes and his second graders completed Parshas Vayera and had an ice cream party and siyum celebration for their hard work and accomplishments.
Rabbi Yachnes went on to add how excited the first graders are to learn from their first Chumash. "Since receiving their Chumash, I see an added enthusiasm in each of my students," he added. |

Coach Gavi Tabor focused with the fourth and fifth grade boys on middos and sportsmanship as he coached them throughout the year and concluded with a play- off game and an awards ceremony. |
