On Thursday, June 7, seven Ben Porat Yosef sixth grade students were inducted into the BPY chapter of the Jr. International Thespian Society (ITS), an honor society that acknowledges student achievement in theater. Along with this achievement, four eighth grade students were honored as well with “Excellence in Theater” medallions. BPY’s involvement with the ITS began four years ago, when BPY’s resident theater teacher and director, Rebecca Lopkin of Envision Theater, chartered the school’s chapter. Since that time, more than 20 middle school students have earned their place in the honor society.
