Visual notes from a school year as a high-school teacher.

1. Naomi’s Visual Notes
Mekif Yehud High-School – 2014/15

2. We came back
to school to find
that some things
had changed…
Someone was
overzealous with
the
paintbrush…

3. …while others had not.
It would take rain to get that roll of toilet-
paper off the trees.

4. And so the rains came.
Oct. 31

5. There was even hail!
The closest we got to snow!

6. Sadly, we did our crying in the rain too.
Mourning the loss of our student ,Refael, aged 19

7. Then the sun
made the
schoolyard
look positively
brilliant!

9. The sun did a good job with the
hallways too!
Checkers,
anyone?

10. Time passes in an orderly manner at
school.
Even
though I
can’t seem
to read the
time on
this
sundial…

11. There were birthdays, staff meetings…

12. and report cards.
The chair seems rather ashamed of itself…

13. The way from the car to the gate may
be so very familiar,
Oct. 30
The
leaves
point
the
way!

14. But
there is
so much
to
see!

15. It pays to look up, too!
All poised for flight!

16. We tried to keep up with the academic
work,
See the geometry lesson on the building?!

17. in between the abundance of school
activities.
Fundraising Event for Study-Trip

18. keep
The
ball
Movin
g!!

19. Coming together for memorial
ceremonies.

20. We had some visitors…
Though usually not through the window!

21. …the back yard was renovated…
The one year I wasn’t assigned yard duty there…

22. …the school guard got a new booth…
With an air conditioner!

23. …and vending machines raised new
issues.

24. During exam days the yards were so
empty…

25. Well, not really empty!

26. Another school year ends.
See you next year!!!
