With a week of midterms approaching and it being a new experience, the ninth grade teachers decided to create a fun, stress-free program for their students. The emphasis was on the importance of getting sleep during midterms week. Each student knotted two pieces of Bruriah personalized fleece together and filled it with cotton stuffing, thus creating a beautiful Bruriah-themed pillow! As freshman Shira Lejtman from Teaneck said, “I had such a calming time making and decorating my own pillow before midterms and it was so fun doing it with my friends.” The program provided an opportunity for the students to relax and catch up with their friends before exams.

Mattie Fooksman is a freshman at Bruriah.
