New News:
1. Next newsletter for elementary Judaic  studies: (please remember that all newsletter articles need to be turned in by Wednesday at noon to Phylis Levine at phylis.levine@mhafyos.org

Chavi Katz Feb 22 

2. I would like to schedule a Faculty meeting for Wed Feb 22 from 4:15-5. We need to  have regular faculty meetings again. I think they are important. 


3. Lunchroom decorum: We can start a positive reinforcement system with tickets and containers for each class that we could keep in the closet where Sruli’s table is kept. During the entire lunch time and benching, teachers can give kids tickets for proper behavior. At the end of lunch, the students put the tickets into the appropriate container on the way out to recess. When a container is full, the students will get a treat (ice cream party? Popcorn party? Extra recess?). It might take longer for the 4th, 5th and 6th graders to fill their containers because they are smaller (although perhaps b/c for the most part they’re better behaved, they might finish sooner). I would like to hear back from you in the next day or two so we can start on Wednesday.
