The JEC Middle School kicked off the first day of school with an orientation breakfast. After davening, students headed to the multi-purpose room to enjoy breakfast with friends and rebbeim, while welcoming new students along with the incoming sixth graders. Rabbi Pomper went over middle school policies, while Rabbi Beer inspired the students with the message that the success of their year is in their hands. The sixth graders had an additional orientation in order to acclimate them to the middle school schedule and routines, as well as to answer any questions they had.
