FOTT Movie Night

The second FOTT Movie Night was an absolute blast, filled with laughter, singing, and delicious snacks! The Movie Night Host Committee picked Descendants for the evening, and it was a perfect choice. A special shoutout to Tomas B. and Marissa T. for taking the stage during the first song and dazzling us with their amazing dance moves! The “Dude’s Truth Gummies” and the popcorn were a big hit. We can’t wait to see what the Host Committee picks for the next Movie Night!

For MLK Day, Friendship Circle and The Beacon participated in a service event with Community Day School. Students took time to reflect on what accomplishments they’d made in 2024, and set realistic and healthy goals for 2025. Some students collaged a vision board, others made bingo cards, and some even wrote letters to their future selves. Some students’ goals focused on limiting procrastination, preparing for their Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, and getting outside more.  What goals are you working on in 2025? Are they measurable and realistic? Do they commend you on how far you’ve come already?
