Sarah louis week 22- Bye bye DKJA


                                                                BYE 

 So I am going to take Ariel's word for it, but it is crazy that this is the final blog post. Ironically this and a couple recent events are making me a little nostalgic and I am going to miss Donna Klein. Mostly the teachers if I am being honest as they are the BEST part of the school. So in this post I am going to talk about all of my favorite moments at DKJA in HS specifically with the teachers. Starting in 9th grade I had the best time doing creative writing with Ms. Osborne (if anyone remembers her she was such a fun teacher) I was in a creative writing course with just her and Kaela and it was such a funny class as seniors would always sit in on the class since they loved Ms. Osborne. I would say that the 10th grade shabbaton also was a great memory as I did karaoke with Ms. Delbo and Mrs. Joseph and Coby Russo. We sang livin' on a prayer and on that same shabbaton I went on Rip ride Rockit with Jackie, Ashley Asal, and Raquel Berstein. I was scared out of my mind but it was a super fun memory. I am honestly going to miss "getting water" but really going to hang out with Ms. Delbo/ Joseph/ or Noiman (depending on the day) for a couple of minutes while they scream at me to get back to class. I am going to miss poping into Ms. Scheiders office every morning to talk to her for like 20 minutes since I would always get to school 9th and 10th grade at 7:15 in the morning and she was one of the only teachers in the building (I would get there early because my dad would lead praying in the mac). I am going to miss seeing Mrs. Leibowitz and Mrs. Ho banter constantly during 10th grade when I had them at the same time and they knew exactly what was going on in each others class. Also I loved seeing Mrs. Leibowitz and Mr. Bowman fight about which class was better. Personally I am team chemistry since physics is not my vibe.  I will miss lydia screaming at me for talking every day in minyan or teasing me for talking in class. Lastly I am going to miss the overall atmosphere at school. Yes I know I haven't been in over a year, but the truth is those three years in person gave me such incredible memories that I will never forget. DKJA will forever be my home and my teachers will always be my great mentors who I aspire to be like when I grow up. Never thought I would see the day where I was leaving Donna Klein, I will forever be grateful for the 12 years I was there as they were truly the best years of my life.

What were some of your favorite memories at Donna Klein?

  1. Aw Sarah this whole post is so cute and nostalgic! It's so sweet to hear all your positive memories of DKJA. You're 100% right by the way the best part of the school hands down is the teachers. They make each day not half as bad as school really feels.

  3. I can't believe this is our final week of classes. I'm sure some of us will come back to visit, especially with younger siblings at the school, but its definitely gonna be different.

  4. Haha that shoutout at the beginning made me laugh. The worst part of leaving, honestly, is that the last year at the school wasn't like a real year. It feels like the "golden years" are so distant.
