Stella K. Abraham High School for Girls’ 11^th Grade Marine Biology class is terrific! Our trip to the New York Aquarium in Coney Island on Wednesday, March 30, is one of the many reasons why Mrs. Aviva Lifshitz’s class is so special. Marine Biology is a super interactive class where we go on trips, have cool projects, and very interesting dissections.

Connecting Past, Present, and Future…

YSZ HS Girls prepared for Pesach with an inspiring yom iyun that focused on mesorah. We are a link in the chain. Each year, we sit down at the Seder and we connect generations to each other: grandparents, parents, and grandchildren. It is this tradition that connects the past to the present and the future.
