Dear Ozrim:
Y’all have earned two weeks off! This week Laura was first and won the Frick Award. Mason announced he will be joining the Crimson Tide next year. Paul and Kim announced they will return to Ozrim even though they will be freshmen in college (;O).
Kyra was in charge this week, and it is great to report that everything went smoothly. Unlike the previous week, no chocolate fountains were broken (although she did abandon me in my hour of need). Candace and Andrew were on mold patrol, checking expiration dates and sniffing out old food. I received kudos about two of you in particular, when two teachers approached me to tell me how good a job Rachel does each week, and how terrific Jonathon was at the Purim Carnival. Way to go – we love it when they come to us to report positives!
Jake and Reese won GQ, Kyra and Laura won Vanity Fair. Alexa was drinking Tab (she looked like Twiggy from the 70’s commercial). Ari had his orange theme going (shirt and shoe laces). Garrett dressed like his teacher. Max Gru was busy handling home matters.
Zach is both Rabbi Remer and Mr. Supply for his class – reminiscent of James Garner as the Scrounger (The Great Escape). Carl remains Carl – sure and steady, working on Hebrew. Max Gre looked tired in the meeting, but ran a marathon in his class. Josh Gordon is still looking at colleges in other time zones. Bari helped a child that was afraid of a bug – this is pure irony of the first nature. She is also a good speller. I could not read Kyra’s writing but it looked like something about Jeremy and a duck – I am sure there is more to that story, but I am not sure it is printable.
When we return from break it is Matzah time, then we hit the home stretch. Get your enthusiasm in gear, because we want to end the year with a bang, making them excited for the next year. Enjoy your spring break.
By the way, while the Cowboys do nothing, did you see which team has made the best moves in free agency this off-season? That would be those Chicago Bears – on their way to the Super Bowl again!

Purimpalooza is coming
February 22, 2010
Dear Ozrim:
This Saturday is Purimpalooza, so pick out your costume and do not forget we have class on Saturday, not Sunday. See you at 3:30 at the temple!!! There will be plenty of food and fun – Kyra has made sure that the chocolate fountain works (she assembled and disassembled it several times on Sunday).
This week Laura won Frick, and she is the perfect pastry slicer. Lately we have had a higher number of absences, please remember that the students in your classes look forward to seeing you and spending time with you. When you are absent or not in class it detracts from their learning experience. Please make every effort to be at Religious School and in class whenever possible.
Andrew looked zoned out all day. Paul wants everyone to remember no jeans except at Purimpalooza. Jeremy was Duff Man with juice for his class. Bari may actually be shorter than every student in her class. Kelly is the Dancing Queen (Abba), and Josh is the Patrick Swayze of his class.
Morgan had water logged boots. Candace had her Selena hat, Jonathan his zip up sweatshirt, and Val the lowest hanging purse on earth. Rachel won Vanity Fair with her zebra shirt, and Kim’s checkerboard shirt won honorable mention. Max is raising enthusiasm, Carl hovers over his class, and Mose the beatnik won GQ this week. Rabbi Remer continues his Hebrew lessons in class, and Mason was like a Saint Bernard – he and his teacher had a triage going in class.
We have Purim, then a week of class, then two weeks off, then Passover, then we come to the home stretch (April and May). I realize religious school’s schedule has been bizarre this year, and it is hard to get into a rhythm, but let’s pull it together for the children! Y’all are the key.
Thank you for all of those that have to read my ranting but are pulling your weight and doing your job in a professional manner! I truly appreciate your dedication and how responsible you have been in making this program a success.
