What will you miss most about SAA?
My friends

What was your favorite COVID-19 activity?
Sleeping

Tell us three things you couldn't live without during your eighth-grade year:
I couldn't live without my friends who always have my back, my extremely understanding teachers, and my supportive parents and sisters.

If you could take one thing from SAA with you to high school, what would it be?
The most important thing is friendship because friendship is what gets you through tough times, and who you spend your happiest moments with.

What was your favorite SAA class and why?
English because I really enjoy creative writing.

Share your favorite SAA memory.
My favorite memory at SAA was lifting each other up on the wall at Alonim because it bonded us more.

Honor your faculty! Who do you want to give a shout-out to?
I want to give a shout-out to Ms. Greene for always being extremely understanding, an amazing teacher, and the best advisor.

What SAA traditions will you miss most after you graduate?
I'll miss singing Hashkiveinu every Friday because I think it creates a huge sense of community and love.

My advice for the Class of 2021 is don't be too stressed about applying to high schools, because the stress isn't worth it, and they should make the most of their eighth grade year. Our grade didn't realize how privileged we were until we couldn't go to Israel, so don't rush through the year, enjoy every moment until the last.
