Shalom Galil Parents. Today we welcomed back the Amelim (5th grade) and Chotrim (6th grade) from a fun and nautical tiyul. Their first day they went on a lovely, scenic hike and had some great creek-splashing time. The kids enjoyed making (and eating) a delicious vegetable stew, and sitting by a cozy bonfire. On the second day the Amelim and Chotrim rafted and swam down the Delaware River.
Meanwhile back at machaneh, the Bogrim learned about the distinction between non-sustainable, sustainable, and organic farming, all-the-while enjoying smoothies in the chadar ochel (dining hall). They are developing a strong awareness of the environment and an understanding of how food comes from the earth to their plates. Here at Galil, we are making a greater effort to use locally grown produce and reduce the amount of processed food on the menu.
Love,
Nora and Dusty
