The Hebrew Academy of Nassau County is proud to announce the Class of 2023 Valedictorian and Salutatorians. Principal Rabbi Eli Slomnicki proudly remarked, “We take great pride that all three honorees have benefited from a complete K-12 HANC education! Our valedictorian, Adina Lippman, has distinguished herself in her scholarship both in General Studies and Limudei Kodesh, synthesizing passion for 21st century learning with a strong pursuit of the sciences and Torah exemplifying an ideal HANC student.  Co-salutatorians Ariela Haftel and Yaron Rahmani are Torah U’madda scholars.  Their commitment to Torah lishma along with the pursuit of general knowledge sets a tone of aspiration for their peers.

Grades 4 and 5 Continue to Develop Coding Skills

Under the guidance of Morah Mazal Yusupov, students in Grades 4 and 5 are continuing to develop their coding skills. Students are using “micro:bits,” pocket-sized computers that help introduce students to software and hardware work together. Students were given “pseudo-code” and then applied the instructions to write “code” using the micro:bit software. Students are working on making their micro:bits play different songs and coding the buttons to play, pause, and skip to the next track.
