Upper Schoolers Celebrate Chanukah with Visitors from Yachad

Juniors and seniors gave a warm welcome to visitors from Yachad, an organization dedicated to enriching the lives of Jewish people with disabilities and their families. Yachad participants came to Ramaz to share in Chanukah festivities, and our students truly helped them have a blast. Together, everyone chatted, played dreidel and bingo, and noshed on fresh donuts fried in the cafeteria by a visiting vendor. To top it off, everyone danced along to a special "silent disco" in the auditorium. Those who wanted to hear the music could listen with headphones, while anyone with sensory concerns or other preferences could opt out of listening while still enjoying the party. It was a beautiful afternoon full of kindness and connection.
