The Shluchim Online School proudly presented their 8th grade girls, graduates of 5771, with a beautifully planned program for the students of the US division.
Rabbi Gedalia Shemtov addressed the graduates, their parents and siblings, grandparents and balabatim, and introduced Mr. Meir Nigri, who spoke warmly and enthusiastically about his experiences with the Online School and how he has gained from being a part of something as large as it has become. Mr. Nigri shared that the Online School is his βfavorite projectβ to be involved in, and announced then that he will now be sponsoring the girlβs school as well. Rabbi Zirkind of Fresno, California shared his thoughts as well, thanking the school for giving him the opportunity to raise the kids in a Chassidishe environment while staying home.
The theme of the graduation was MeAlef Lβelef; from one to a thousand. It was based on a story where the Frierdiker Rebbe gave a Brocha to the administrator of a school in Australia that had one graduate that βMeAlef Lβelef, from one to a thousand.β Online School too, has grown from a phone school with four students to an online school of hundreds of students worldwide.
The girls, on their own initiative, created a meaningful and heartwarming slideshow, where they addressed each girl individually and spoke about talents, middos, and qualities specific to her. It was truly an inspiration to watch.
The graduation ceremony continued with beautiful speeches given by each of the 8th grade girls, a heartfelt message from one of their teachers, Morah Chana Poltorak, and ended off with a beautiful message from principal Mrs. Gitty Rosenfeld. It was an event that was attended by family, friends and many more guests, and was BβH a huge success.
A few days later, on the other side of the world, students from China, England and Australia joined together for the EU graduation. The 7th grade class prepared a touching slideshow for the graduates, where they specified what the class would miss most about them and their talents. Diplomas were handed out, speeches were heard, and the graduates shared words of inspiration. The gradutes heard from their teachers, Morah Slaviticki and Morah Glukowsky. Rebbetzin Freundlich shared a thank you to the school, and Mrs. Rosenfeld left the gradutes with words of Mazal Tov and a message for them to take on with them in high school.
Thank you to Chanale Weisz and Mushkie Junik, extracurricular advisors, as well as Rabbi Gedalia Shemtov, Rabbi Moshe Shemtov, Mrs. Gitty Rosenfeld, Morah Chana Poltorak, Rabbi Yossi Goodman, Toby Herman and Berel Vogel for all their help.
