It is that exciting time of the year when the students in Kitah Alef (first grade) receive their first Ariot book (a workbook the students will use to learn how to read and write in Hebrew). Ariot, the Hebrew speaking lion, usually comes to our school and delivers these books himself. Unfortunately, because of Coronavirus, Ariot's flight was canceled and he was not able to come to our school this year.

Instead, he sent a beautiful box and a letter explaining his gift to the students. In addition, each student received a personalized letter from him with clues about the gift. The students were so excited to read his letter and to receive their brand new workbook. Now they are ready for a wonderful year of learning!
