This holiday season I would like to say "Thank you", to a class that continually amazes me. It is my great honor to share the spirit of the season with such a special group of children.

Happy Hanukkah! Elliott and Midori Teach Us All

Hanukkah is a very important holiday. It represents that a long time ago there was a war. People lived in a town that was ambushed. They ran into their church and lit up some candles. They soon realized that they only had enough oil to sustain one day, but somehow the oil lasted 8 days. That is the reason that there are 9 candles on the menorah to represent how they thought it would last 1 day but it lasted 8 days. We light one a day for the 8 days during Hanukkah. Elliott
The middle candle is called "shamash", or helper candle. It is the first candle lit. The flame from the shamash is used to light the remaining candles. Midori

On the first day of Hanukkah Midori and Elliott both received a new t-shirt.
