This past week, Rabbi Eli Slomnicki, Principal of HANC High School, visited students in their respective Yeshivot and Midrashot throughout Israel, demonstrating to our Alumni how important they are to the HANC family. Maintaining close relationships with alumni is greatly emphasized at HANC and is one aspect of school that truly stands out.

Every month, the fifth grade boys at HALB have a different “Hero of the Month.” They learn about an organization and then the tz’dakah collected that month goes to them.

 Students at SINAI@YCQ raised $308 at a Chanukah bake sale for Chai Lifeline. Their "Bake for Chai" fundraiser included yummy brownies, cookies, chocolate-dipped pretzels, and Rice-Krispie-type treats. Kol hakavod!

Scientific research and independent study have taken a huge leap this year at the Stella K. Abraham High School for Girls. Under the direction of Research Coordinator Dr. Salvatore Parrino and Science Department Chair Dr. Chana Glatt, over 30 SKA students are already participating in this ongoing initiative.

Chanukah Celebrations at the Yeshiva of Central Queens (YCQ) were jam-packed. Or would it be more appropriate to say jelly-filled!?

Exciting things have been happening at the Young Israel Queens Valley. Last Motza’ei Shabbos, the shul invited mothers and daughters for an evening of painting and bonding with Mrs. Devora Rhodes. Fifty-three mothers and daughters were in attendance.
