The end of the year is always a bittersweet moment for the administration and faculty. Everyone has the chance to look back at the year—and it was indeed a wonderful year!—to see how the students learned, grew and flourished. It’s also a time to look ahead and plan for the exciting coming year. Most importantly, it’s time to say so long to the graduates, who now embark on the next chapter of their lives. This eighth grade was very special. Their kindness, humor, dedication to ideals, amazing curiosity and honesty were an inspiration to everyone at BPY. They will be missed and are welcome back to visit anytime. It has been amazing to be part of their lives, and the entire BPY family sends the very best wishes for success, fulfillment, happiness and wonder as they move forward m’chayil el chayil (from strength to strength). Mazal tov and mabrook on graduation!
