Yeshiva University High School for Girls is proud to announce the names of the students from the Class of 2022 who have been named this year’s Valedictorian and Salutatorian. Each of these students has devoted many long hours to their academics and have dedicated their time to contribute to the school community. The valedictorian and salutatorian are chosen based on their alignment with our school mission, academic performance, course load, midos, school involvement, contribution to our community, and citizenship.
Rabbi Shmuel Y. Levin, Rosh Yeshiva of Telshe Yeshiva of Chicago, visited Yeshiva Sha’arei Zion of Queens to share divrei chizuk. The rav was very impressed by the Torah knowledge, warmth, and sincerity of the bochurim.
Elementary school students at SINAI@YCQ celebrated the end of the school year with a siddur presentation. The event featured video clips of the children saying something that they are thankful to Hashem for, in connection with the Birchos HaShachar, the morning blessings.
Throughout the year, the Back To The Future Rosh Chodesh Program at BYQ has been highlighting a famous woman each month. The girls have become familiar with these role models, learning about their outstanding midos and the mitzvos close to their hearts. Each month, they received a card with a picture of the woman on one side and important facts about her on the other. The girls have been collecting these cards and placing them in a plastic card sleeve.
HALB Lev Chana students went on trips to White Post Farm and Green Meadows Farm last week. The weather was perfect, as our children jockeyed for the best positions to see, feed, and touch the animals. Pony rides, parrots perched on children and moros, picnic lunches, gigantic wooden and plastic structures for climbing, and ginormous giraffes to feed and pet were just a few of “my favorite things to do at the farm!”
