"Nitzacademy Awards"

by Aviva F.


Sunday through Thursday, all the edot have a peulot erev (night activity).  I love seeing how other edot are dressed up for their night activities at dinner. One night Abirim had an activity where the kids of the top bunks were dressed in college gear and the bottom bunks were dressed sporty. Some of my favorite activities so far have been:
-Nitzacademy Awards
-The Luau
-Farmer's Market


The Nitzacademy Awards was one activity I remember really well. 


In front of the Whizin building, Nitzanim had one of their many night activities, and it was a Disney themed academy awards! Each bunk performed a song from an original Disney movie. Bunk 1 had "A Whole New World" from Aladdin. Bunk 2 (my bunk) was given "I'll Make a Man out of You" from Mulan, and bunk 12 had "Hakuna Matata" from The Lion King. 


After everyone performed three awards were given out. Bunk 1 was given the "Best Vocal" award because one of the girls in the bunk was singing the song as the rest of the bunk danced. My bunk won the "Best Dance" award and bunk 12 won "Most Comedic." 


I really liked this activity because for the bunk activity earlier that day we got to learn our dance. It was really fun. 


Last Tuesday, we had a luau. There was licorice and guava juice (yum!) and everyone got to swim at night. The Farmer's market was also really cool. There were six different countries (USA, China, Italy, Japan, Israel, and Mexico). Each country made a different dish from the country, but instead of real food we used candy (chips and salsa for Mexico). Each person received 10 "Nitz-bucks" (worth two 5's) and everyone had enough money to choose two things. I chose candy from Japan and Mexico. 


I can't wait to see what other night activities we will do.
