Hats Off to the Tamar Kaplan Invitational Winners!
This weekend we held the Tamar Kaplan Invitational, which is held in memory of Tamar Kaplan. (Learn more about Tamar and why we honor her life at our last blog article.)
Our students brought their best, along with an incredible array of entries into our “Hat and Hair Hootenanny” theme and meme contest! Find some of our favorites (and the tournament results, of course) below.
