Last night's Hanukkah Math Night was a huge success.  Students and their families were engaged in math activities; they ate latkes and sufganiyot prepared by the middle school; they performed, sang, and played violin; and everyone joined in on a group Hanukkah mad-libs led by Mr. Marks. Below for your reading enjoyment is the mad-libs story.

Many DECADES ago in the land of IN-N-OUT, the Jews were SLIPPERY until a SMELLY CHEESE,  CHEESECAKE took over. He RAN a new COOKIE, that the Jews could no longer keep GLIDA but instead must follow the ZOMBIES of the Greeks. He even KAYAKED a GIRAFFE in the BLAZING Temple in A GRAVEYARD! 

 Then one day, CHAVA Maccabee fought back! He declared PHONE against the CHEESE BALLS. The PHONES outnumbered them a million to 43.764.  But God let the HUNGRY defeat the EXPLODING, the FLYING defeat the CREEPY, and the STICKY defeat the AWESOME.

 After FLIPPING fighting, Judah's LEOPARD conquered MYTH-BUSTERS LIVE and entered the SPACE. But when they tried to DRINK the FOX, there was no unspoiled SPIKY. Finally, they found 3.1415926 UNDERWATER of kosher MENORAH. A great NEON CAT happened! The RAINBOW DRANK for 2.5 BILLION DECADES.

 Ever since, we PITCHED the FLOWERS of Hanukkah each  MILLISECOND, lighting EIFFEL TOWERS and SNEEZING FIREWORKS.
