Adar is truly a wonderful and joyous time, filled with “ונהפוך הוא ” ” . To celebrate, this week at Rambam, we had our very own Shtick Week! On Wednesday, students arrived at school eager to begin learning after many days spent snowed in. Starting after shiur, the celebrations kicked off with Pajama Day. From all sorts of wacky outfits, such as blanket coats and pajama pants, the halls were filled with fun and spirited energy. The next day was “Anything But a Backpack Day,” held in conjunction with Jersey Day. Wearing their favorite jerseys, students brought in their wacky “bags,” including vacuums, coolers, cabinets, garbage cans, birdcages, and even a brick of ice! Every year, the big “Anything But a Backpack Walk-Off” takes place at midday, when students strut down the hallway runway to show off whatever creative contraption they are using to carry their books. This year, our winner was David Bondar (12th) with the vacuum, with honorable mentions to Yaakov Moskowitz (10th) with a mini fridge and Jasper Obstfeld (9th) with a hot water urn. The entries were truly incredible, and we cannot wait to see even more creativity and ruach in the years to come. The week concluded with Hot Cocoa Day! Students were treated to steaming hot cocoa, chocolate milk, and marshmallows, getting everyone warmed up and ready for the sweet, delicious excitement of Purim. Yosef Harris (Senior)
