Schools

On Tuesday, May 23, the eleventh grade Shevach High School STEM class and their instructor Mrs. Paula Berger, participated in the CIJE Innovation Day at the American Dream Mall. The STEM students joined over a thousand other students from 47 different schools, bringing together 450 projects to compete in the engineering competition.

Continuing its mission to provide a solid educational foundation to elementary schoolers with mild to moderate learning disabilities and children on the autism spectrum, IVDU Five Towns is welcoming Mrs. Devorah Katz as its new principal for the 2023-2024 academic year.

Wednesday night, June 7, was a meaningful and inspirational evening for eighth grade students at the Bnos Malka Academy. There was a culminating dinner reception and video premiere for the program Names, Not Numbers©: an interactive, multi-media Holocaust project created by educator Tova Fish-Rosenberg.

On Friday, May 19, the Yeshiva of Central Queens hosted a heartfelt breakfast to honor their esteemed Executive Director, Rabbi Yaakov Lonner. The special event on Yom Yerushalayim brought together the entire Junior High School student body, faculty, and Board of Trustees members to express their gratitude and appreciation for Rabbi Lonner’s exceptional leadership and unwavering dedication over the years.

Wednesday evenings offer an inspiring lineup of learning for the Women’s Division of Emet Outreach. Following TorahConnect, the weekly chavrusa program, is a new initiative aptly called “The Next Step.” Held at YCQ from 9-10 p.m., this lecture-style program is modeled after Step It Up, Emet’s classic level two learning program for college girls. “Our vision was to create a program where married women could recreate their Step It Up experience at the next stage of life,” said Ms. Adina Fendel, Emet Women’s Director. “It can be challenging for women to find time for Torah study while juggling the responsibilities of family and career. At The Next Step, participants can connect with women who are like-minded, share similar experiences and are looking to continue their spiritual growth.”

A select group of YCQ students had the incredible opportunity to visit Google’s New York headquarters recently. Seventh and eighth grade students who participate in the after-school Robotics and SET³ programs ventured into Manhattan for an amazing and educational experience.
