    The high school kicked off the year with an unforgettable retreat at Camp Laurelwood, and what a way to start! The purpose of the retreat was clear: to welcome our new students, strengthen connections among the entire student body, and build community with our teachers and administrators. By every measure, it was a smashing success.

     

    From the moment we arrived, the energy was contagious. Students dove right into team-building activities like speed debating, speed friending, an epic football game, and a high-energy round of manhunt. These activities weren’t just fun—they gave everyone the chance to connect with classmates they may not have spoken to before.

     

    Of course, no camp retreat would be complete without outdoor adventures. Archery, swimming, and especially fishing were highlights of the weekend. The fishing crew even gutted, cleaned, and cooked the fish right over the campfire!

    

    It’s clear that this retreat set the tone for a year of growth, friendship, and community.

    A huge thank you goes out to Batsheva Oberstein, Rabbi Schneeweiss, Lindy Hanenbaum, Jane Resnick and all the faculty and staff who worked so hard behind the scenes to make this retreat possible. Because of their efforts, our high school family is stronger than ever and ready to take on the year ahead.
