In honor of the first day of Chanukah, TDSA welcomed grandparents, aunts, uncles and close family VIP’s for Generations Day. Students were so excited to welcome their loved ones. After a delicious breakfast, our VIPs joined the students in their classrooms to share in their learning experience. They finished off the day with a rousing game of Chanukah Jeopardy and decorating their own family shields!

It might be freezing outside but our middle school boys are being kept warm with the "fire" of their Torah learning! Rabbi Pollack's 5th grade boys are hard at work reviewing Mishna Brachos. In Rabbi Gruen's shiur, the sixth grade is learning to recognize identifying markers on lost objects. The boys even worked together to set up chavrusahs (in pairs) to review the material! While the 7th grade boys in Rabbi Wohlfarth's class are about to complete the topic of יאוש שלא מדעת, a topic in Mashectas Bava Metzia relating to the return of lost objects.

Brrr! Winter has finally arrived in Atlanta and the first grade boys are studying snowflakes in STEAM! The boys learned how they form, how each one is unique and why every snowflake has a different pattern. When the students completed this unit, they made their own paper snowflakes and saw symmetry in action.

Chanukah is in the air and TDSA is sufganiot central with the second grades and middle school girls all decorating sufganiot! The second graders had a great time with Ms. Jenn and Mrs. Freundlich decorating sufganiot in honor of Chanukah. The middle school girls took their decorating to the next level and decorated their sufganiot with scenes representing different types of Chessed! Then they wrote a short paragraph in Ivrit to explain the Chessed they choose. What a yummy way to practice their Hebrew writing skills!

Congratulations to Ms. Jenn and Mrs. Freundlich's first grade boys on filling their marble jar! As a reward the boys were allowed to choose what to do at their Marble Party and they chose a game day! They bought games from home and the teachers provided games as well. Everyone had a blast playing different board games with each other in celebration of their accomplishment!

What are those loud noises coming from Rabbi Rubin and Mrs. Cavalier's classroom on the first floor? It's the second graders hard at work building their menorahs. The only thing louder than the sounds of the  saw are the sounds of laughter from the students as they cut, file and cement on mosaics to make their own unique creations. The students can't wait to take their menorahs home and use them on Chanukah!

At TDSA, old computers get a second life! Our third and fifth grade enrichment students have been deconstructing older computers to learn more about how they are engineered to operate. Once they fully understand computer construction they will apply that knowledge to enhance their coding skills and understanding of technology. This will be incredibly helpful as they continue to develop their personal passion projects.

Supporting the Apogee Scholarship Fund program by redirecting a portion of your GA income tax to Torah Day School of Atlanta is a powerful way to invest in the Jewish future.



The Apogee Scholarship Fund is essential to Torah Day School of Atlanta. Last year, it provided over $400,000 dollars—funds that directly enabled students to attend TDSA. Without Apogee, much of what we do would not be possible.



Instead of sending your full payment to the State of Georgia, you can redirect part of your state tax dollars to TDSA through Apogee. You’ll receive a 100% state income tax credit—and the value of a TDSA education is passed on to our students.
