The Yeshiva Primary Purim program was an amazing success. The event started off with a masquerade for every class, where every student dressed up, presented their costumes, and had lots of fun.

HANC High School’s Purim festivities do not stop at the amazing Purim Chagigah. For us, Purim is a season of celebration, with a week of costumes and festivities leading up to Purim day. One of our highlights was the incredible senior break-fast at Coffee Bar of Lawrence after the conclusion of Taanis Esther. Seniors and staff alike davened Maariv and broke their fasts on incredible pastas, pizzas, and salads. While they ate, they had the privilege of being entertained and mesmerized by the renowned mentalist Marc Salem, who dazzled everyone!

The solar eclipse this week provided a marvelous educational opportunity. Teachers diligently explained the intricate orbits of the Sun and Moon, along with the science behind the harmful effects of gazing directly at the eclipse. It was also a moment to, once again, recognize the awe-inspiring wonder of creation: “Ma Rabu Ma’asecha Hashem.”

It’s springtime at the Yeshiva University High School for Girls (Central), which means a flurry of much-anticipated events: Color War, Senior Seminar, Envision Shakespeare, and the spring sports season. But there’s one performance that has a special place in Central culture: the annual spring musical.
