HAFTR Students Reflect and Celebrate a Successful Year

By: Ben Lipton

Before the school year came to an end, HAFTR High School students and faculty took a well-deserved day to relax, bond, and have fun together. On Tuesday, May 27, the day began by joining together for a beautiful davening, led by our students and rabbis, and then a lavish Student Appreciation breakfast. The breakfast was a special treat and gave everyone a chance to spend time together and reflect on the concluding school year. Then, we headed to the buses, eager to arrive at Six Flags Great Adventure to enjoy a thrilling day at the park.

Once we arrived, students lined up for rides to enjoy the thrill. There were so many great rides at the park, including El Toro, Jersey Devil Coaster, and classic amusement park games where students could win various prizes. By the end of the day, everyone was exhausted, but had so many new memories. By early evening, we left the park, davened Minchah, and enjoyed a delicious Chickie’s dinner. We headed back onto the buses after an amazing day. Thank you to our incredible HAFTR High School faculty for organizing and chaperoning this event; it was a day to remember and a perfect way to celebrate the year before the final stretch.
