In 2010, during the school's midwinter break, the Spanish Club traveled to Puerto Rico as part of a cultural immersion trip. SAR's Model UN team is one of the most prestigious clubs in the school, placing in second at the Yeshiva University National Model UN competition in 2013. A favorite game among the students and staff is Mystery Maccabee (the Jewish version of Secret Santa). Poems are frequently given in correspondence with the gifts, although this tradition is only done by few elite members of the student body. However, if poems are deemed inappropriate, the student who wrote the poems may be faced with suspension.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“Juggling produces both practical and psychological benefits.... A woman’s involvement in one role can enhance her functioning in another. Being a wife can make it easier to work outside the home. Being a mother can facilitate the activities and foster the skills of the efficient wife or of the effective worker. And employment outside the home can contribute in substantial, practical ways to how one works within the home, as a spouse and as a parent.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
