Today’s a doozy — Tax day and on a Monday?! No need to hide, You’ve got this! 🙌🏼

And speaking of taxes, if you’re an Arizona resident and didn’t use your tax benefit by the end of last year to assign your state taxes to a non-profit of our choice, here’s your reminder!

Since you have to pay state taxes anyway, this is your chance to put all that money to good use! Your donation to our school will not only help your community, but also benefit our future. ☀️

Why donate to MMA? We are a Jewish school starting an education revolution right here in Scottsdale, AZ.🌵

We are working to change the global landscape by changing the education of our children and transforming the way they see the world. 🌎

And you can help us move our mission forward even further with your tax donation.

➡️ This is a completely legitimate, amazing benefit that we have for living here in the great state of Arizona.

If you’ve gotta pay your tax dollars anyway, why not give them to a powerful cause that you believe in, especially if your kids are going here or will be in the future! 🤩

Make a donation and get ahead on your 2024 taxes: https://menachemmendelacademy.com/put-your-tax-dollars-to-work-2/

We are grateful for YOU, your family, your contribution, and your partnership. Thank you for your support! ❤️

Trying food from a toddler’s hand is the ultimate test of bravery. 😝

Who needs thrill-seeking adventures when you have toddler snacks? 😅🍽️

At the beginning of the Pesach Seder, we break the middle Matza in half and the bigger piece gets put away in the Afikoman bag. We save the rest until the end and eat the Afikoman for dessert! So this week, our preschoolers worked hard to create their Afikoman bags for the Seder...we are SO excited for Pesach! ✡️

We had a special guest who owns a chocolate business come to show us how to make chocolate from cacao. He told us about the different kinds of chocolate: white, brown, and ruby. And we even got to see a real cacao fruit!

But the best part? Our kindergarten class filmed the whole thing and got to use their movie-making skills to present a film to their parents about how chocolate is made!

We will be sharing the rest of this amazing presentation tomorrow. Stay tuned!

This month’s theme is all about responsibility. Teaching that life skill to kids isn’t just about today; it’s about empowering them to become amazing adults. 🌟

By instilling values like accountability and reliability, we’re helping to raise the leaders of tomorrow.
We are always striving to equip our kids with the tools they need to lead with integrity and compassion. ❤️

Follow along this month to see what activities you can use to teach this important character trait to our own kids.
