To celebrate Lag B’Omer, all three Hillel Academy toddler classes gathered outside for a bonfire. Using their imaginations and some art supplies, students collected sticks, lit the fire and roasted marshmallows for a special snack. The students enjoyed singing songs around the bonfire and sharing this special activity with friends in other classes.
