Connecting the Queens Jewish Community 
On Wednesday, February 26, the YCQ eighth grade students faced off against our administrators and rebbeim in our annual Yeshiva of Central Queens (YCQ) Rebbe-Talmid game. The game took place in the gym, and the boys in fifth through eighth grades came to the game to cheer on the eighth graders.
The fourth graders of the Bais Yaakov Academy of Queens learned and tasted how science plays a part in our daily lives and how delicious scientific results can be! After learning the unit of states of matter and physical and chemical changes, the girls did a “cool” hands-on activity to bring the concepts to life!
The girls at Bnos Malka were certainly all set for Purim. The annual carnival organized by the 8th graders was a huge success. There were the typical "carnival" booths with cute game of skill, together with an over-sized bouncy house and face painting. The girls showed off their creativity with their original costumes. Of course there were plenty of adorable Queen Esthers to go around and even a friendly hippopotamus. The girls were having such a wonderful time, it was only natural for them to start dancing with their teachers.
From Sunday to Tuesday, Mrs. Audi Hecht, History Department chair, led four students – sophomores Sarah Hamerman and Tamar Weiss, and seniors Orah Massihesraelian and Olivia Peller – on the AIPAC Policy Conferences.
The month of Adar is always an exciting time of the year for both children and adults. Every year, the Adar ruach at YTM is amazing. Starting with the Rosh Chodesh Adar treats and continuing with the many masquerades and mesibos, it is a very happy time in school.
