The JEC Middle School’s Friday schedule has been revamped to allow students to explore different areas outside the typical curriculum. Options include sci-tech, cooking and art. In sci-tech, students are working on coding to light up a menorah. Art students will create a number of projects, beginning with origami and weaving, and cooking students have already mastered chocolate chip cookies and apple crisp, with classics such as potato kugel to come. Each group is enjoying this unique hands-on opportunity.
