Sukkot was a joyous holiday and a time of great celebration at The Davis Academy. Students in Mechina through eighth grade decorated the beautiful sukkot on both campuses. The school welcomed families to sing and spend time together as a kehilah. In addition, students created edible sukkot, conducted science labs, and studied in the sukkah. While doing all of these activities in the sukkah, the school remembered where we had come from and also what truly matters in life—the simple blessings of family, health, and shelter. Focusing on these simple blessings made Sukkot truly live up to its name: the season of our rejoicing.
