Early Childhood Grandparents Day was truly beautiful! It was so special to welcome our grandparents for a Shabbos-themed celebration. Students enjoyed creating Shabbos crafts, playing Shabbos bingo, and participating in a lively Pre-Shabbos Ruach with Mr. G. Morah Rachel spoke about our theme of the year, קדושים תהיו – Be the Light, and how our children are inspired by the incredible light of their grandparents, who have paved the way through their values, traditions, and unwavering commitment to Torah and mitzvos. Thank you to all of our grandparents for joining us and helping make the day so meaningful and memorable for our students. 💡

5G did an incredible job at their end-of-year Shoftim Performance and Makkos Fair! The girls showcased all they learned in Chumash and Navi through a beautiful performance featuring music by Mrs. Balken and expressive hand motions. They then welcomed families and fellow students to their interactive Makkos Fair, where visitors learned about the makkos in a fun and engaging way. Thank you to Morah Sorotzkin for guiding the girls throughout this meaningful year. We are so proud of all they have accomplished! ✨🩸 🐸 🐜 🦁 🐄 🔴 🔥 ❄️ 🦗 🕶️ 👦

The boys in 4B did an incredible job presenting their European Explorer projects! Working collaboratively in groups, they researched and created informative and engaging slideshows about their assigned explorers. Students were assessed not only on the accuracy of the information they presented, but also on their creativity, organization, effort, participation, and presentation skills. As each group shared their project, classmates followed along by completing a fact sheet that had been thoughtfully designed by the presenting group. It was wonderful to see the boys showcase both their knowledge and their teamwork throughout this exciting project!

After months of research and hard work, our second graders proudly presented their animal research projects at this year’s Habitat Fair! 🐾🌎

Each student created a unique trifold filled with fascinating facts about their chosen animal and designed a beautiful diorama to bring its habitat to life. The fair was a wonderful showcase of the students’ learning, creativity, and dedication.

A special thank you to Mrs. Cantor and Morah Eliana for guiding the children throughout this process and helping them grow as researchers and learners. We are so proud of all they accomplished! 👏🦁🐧🦒

The girls in 3G did an amazing job in their Shemoneh Esrei play celebrating all 19 brachos! Through the themes of Shevach, Bakasha, and Hoda’ah, they brought to life the stories of Devorah, Chana, and Miriam with beautiful learning, heartfelt tefillos, and meaningful lessons. The girls also created special booklets and decorated their own Tefillas Chana to continue their connection to tefillah at home. A huge thank you to Morah Sorotzkin for inspiring such a love of Torah and tefillah every day! 🩵
