Us: “Should we keep doing this? People seem to like it but is it helping the school?”
Friend in marketing: “Keep going. Everything is brand recognition.”
Us: “But, shouldn’t we show off our incredible teachers & educa…”
Friend: “Shh. Recognition”
Us: “But…”
Friend: “Shhh.”
School Dress Code Update: Students cannot wear clothing with the name of any musician or band unless the student can name at least three of their songs.
We recognize this incident has proven upsetting to some members of the Gen X community. We will be gathering to heal together. All are welcome to bring a flannel shirt,
@drmartens
, a yellow Discman with minimum 30 seconds of skip protection, and an all around dour demeanor.
Welcome to all our new followers. We’re a Modern Orthodox school. If you’re unfamiliar, that just means we like the way baseball caps naturally compliment men’s suits.
We had to send this student home for not being able to name any Rolling Stones songs (YHT Dress Code, Sec. 6, Par. 3 - “students cannot wear band shirts unless they can name 3 of their songs”) and it was the first time a parent ever thanked us for punishing their child.
Our 7th grade English teacher assigned a research paper, handed out a stack of articles, and told them, “I already did the research for you. It’s all in here but 20% of this stack is stuff I made up myself. Part of your grade will be based on figuring out which info is real.”
The instructions for the day were to come dressed as anything Seder related (lots of frogs and darkness stuff walking around the halls today). He said he came as a GOAT for the korban. That’s good hustle.
Any student, at any school in the US (YHT or otherwise), who shovels out an elderly neighbor’s house and sends us a picture of the job done will receive a collapsible YHT water bottle in their mail soon, until we run out of water bottles (we have about 25 laying around).
The year is 2031. Most of the world is over bubble tea. Every kosher pizza shop now inexplicably offers bubble tea. Jewish weddings feature bubble tea stations. Jewish organizations have bubble tea making events for new members. The universe expands out and out and out.
Welcome to our new followers from that controlling-the-weather thing. We're a Modern Orthodox yeshiva. If you're unfamiliar, we’re the reason your law firm’s tax department isn’t available for 10 minutes every afternoon.
We are prepared to give our TED Talk on: “Our school went from 300 to 1,000 Twitter followers in a day and all we had to do was stop posting about our school.”

@TED_ED

Should we be concerned about the number of people in PR, communications, and crisis management that have followed us today? And why is everyone asking if we follow Wendy’s or Steak-Umm? We keep kosher. If there’s a good gefilte fish brand account out there, send THAT our way.
Welcome to our new followers from the latest Nirvana tweet solar flare. We're a Modern Orthodox yeshiva. If you're unfamiliar, it just means our food must be wrapped in impenetrable layers of the noisiest plastic wrap known to mankind before it can be eaten at business meetings.
Are we now the most followed Jewish school (non-university) on Twitter? Surely that cannot be the case. But if it is, WE ARE THE MOST POPULAR JEWISH SCHOOL ON TWITTER EVER! Embarrass us in the replies with all the Jewish schools with larger followings. Let’s meet our competition.
We always wondered what it would be like if we attained the blue check of vengeance. What would change? Would WE change? Now that it’s happened, we want to share a thread about our experience with all of you. The first thing we noticed is that our skin cleared up… (1/N)
The last day of school before Pesach / Passover, everyone dresses up as their favorite part of the holiday. We get a lot of Pharaohs, frogs, that sort of thing. Last year, two staff members did this. Got any creative ideas for a costume? We’ll get them to the right people.

We had a good day on this website. Where’s our blue check
@TwitterSupport
? We’re just sitting here ready to influence with nowhere to go. We have our succulents, subway tile, skincare routine, and
#vanlife
(whatever that is) sitting at the ready.
If you were a Jewish elementary school that, due to the vagaries of the Internet, had attained a peculiarly large and eclectic following, what would you do with that?
The thing you have to ask yourself is not why we, an elementary school Twitter account, express views on music but why all the other elementary schools refuse to disclose their views on music… and why they love Nickelback so much.
Welcome to all our new followers from the latest Nirvana tweet flare up. We’re a Modern Orthodox school. If you’re unfamiliar, just, like… we don’t know… ask your radiologist how they like it or something.
We checked with Mr. Melendez if this was an intentional Zelda reference, pee the comments here. He responded, “Yes 100%, it's the Royal Crest of Hyrule from Link's Hylian Shield. I see the comments are really enjoying that part.”
It seems like some people are doubting this is really our school’s account. Here’s proof: We’re about to add a new early childhood building. If you’d like to name it, please message us and we’ll put you in touch with our Director of Development. See?

Welcome to all our new followers from the latest Nirvana tweet paroxysm. For the unfamiliar, we’re a Modern Orthodox school, which just means we have a religious obligation to wear matching custom hoodies on family trips to Disney, apparently.
If you ever had a chemistry professor you detested, tonight is your annual opportunity to call them at 3AM with a Swedish accent and have your revenge.
We had a nice but brief run as the most unexpectedly popular Jewish Twitter account but
@IWUhoopscom
has knocked us from our perch. Well played. We’ll get you back next year.
What if — hear us out — The Elements of Style was low-key never really about how to write, but rather how to live?
- “Choose a suitable design and hold to it.”
- Make “every word tell.”
- “Place yourself in the background.”
- “Do not take shortcuts at the cost of clarity.”
Success in elementary school basketball can be broken down into its two basic components: (1) the mental part of the game, and (2) being taller than the other team part of the game.
So -- funny story -- it just so happens that we're actually looking for a new part-time music teacher. If you're interested, send a resume to resumes

We’re coming for the universities next. We just need a couple more nostalgia posts… umm, Umbro shorts; those crazy teal and purple Charlotte Hornets uniforms … uhhh, something something Sega Game Gear needed a million AA batteries for 20 minutes of gaming… we’ll workshop this.
We understand the pain of a terrorist attack in New York City.
New York City stands with Israel. Always.
Tonight, we joined

to turn the pain of this weekend’s attack into purpose.
