On Tzom Gedaliah we came back to school feeling like it was a new year and we have a chance to make this year a special one. We started the day with some selichot which was followed by davening. When we came back from shul, we started class and learned with some new energy. That went on for some of the morning until lunch where we relaxed and schmoozed until lunch was over then the rest of the day went a bit faster because we all had a great time in our classes. On Thursday the day started off with a bit more selichot (which will continue until Yom Kippur), then when we came back from shul we had some classes which was amazing because of the teachers. During class in one of the classrooms the students had an amazing time making a project. At lunch after everyone had their lunches we played a round of poker were we had a lot of fun. After lunch we had some classes which took some time before we went to the gym/pool. After the classes we went to the gym/pool where we had a lot of fun. After we came back we had a class and then we went home. On Friday the day started off with the usual selichot and davening. After we came back the teachers had a short meeting which then led to class where we continued learning the stuff from yesterday.
