This winter break, I am going to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with my family. It’s kind of a tradition that we go every year together. I go with my parents, sibling, cousins, aunts and uncles. I’m really looking forward to it because it’s really good bonding time and in such an amazing place. Since we go away so often it feels like a home away from home so I can’t wait to be back.”

-Emma Cantor, junior at Parkway Central High School, member of Congregation B’nai Amoona 

During winter break, I like to spend the snowy days out playing with my friends. I enjoy the warmth of hot chocolate while being all cozied up in a fuzzy blanket on the couch. I like winter break because it means I don’t have to wake up early and worry about school for a whole week.” 

-Elly Cholewa,  junior at Ladue Horton Watkins High School, member of Congregation Shaare Emeth

This winter break, I am looking forward to not having to attend school, and having some stress-free time. I intend to play lots of video games, and watch Harry Potter many times. I look forward to seeing some family from out of town. And I will be sure to get more sleep.”

-Bryce Bernstein, freshman at Ladue Horton Watkins High School, member of Congregation Shaare Emeth

I’m looking forward to seeing a lot of family that’s coming in town. I’m also looking forward to being off school and relaxing.”

This winter break I am looking forward to spending quality time with my family and friends. My family from out of town is coming and we plan on taking them to explore St. Louis. Mainly, I am looking forward to relaxing and not having to worry about school for a full two weeks.”

-Zara Gusdorf, junior at MICDS, member of Congregation Shaare Emeth

During winter break, I’m really looking forward to spending time with my family and friends, relaxing and taking a break from homework.”
