Schools

For the month of May, the Yeshiva University High School for Girls (Central) will participate in a nationwide Mental Health Awareness Month. That this particular Awareness Month follows a year of schoolwide focus on the 2023-24 theme, “The Power of Positivity,” gives this month’s events additional significance.

The students at Lev Chana were excited to come back from Pesach break to discover all the changes in their Grow Torah garden! The children tasted garlic leaves, smelled oregano, and played a game of Mitzvah Bingo in the garden.

MTA is delighted to announce that Pinchas Rosenfeld ’24 has been named a National Merit Scholar. To those who know Pinchas, this is not at all surprising, as he is an excellent student with outstanding scores on standardized tests. But those who remember October of 2022, when MTA administered the PSAT to Pinchas’ class, should indeed be surprised. Pinchas missed the PSAT, as he was sick with Covid-19, and since the PSAT is also the NMSQT (National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) and Pinchas did not take it, then he should have been disqualified from the competition.

The Yeshiva of Central Queens is pleased to announce that Morah Shana Weiss, a beloved Head Nursery Teacher, has been named the Director of the Early Childhood Program, effective July 1.

Junior high school students at SINAI at YCQ researched and presented projects highlighting landmarks of both Jewish and general interest in Philadelphia - and in the process, bringing American history to life!
