This past week, the BPY students learned about the levonah (frankensance) which is in this week’s parsha, and how it comes from the resin of trees. Students learned that parsley, which is growing in their garden, also has resin. This resin helps the plants heal themselves, like its own medicine! They then tasted some chives and planted radishes. They love learning about all the amazing wonders of Hashem’s world, sometimes in the tiniest forms, from their GrowTorah garden.
The BPY second graders took a trip to Englewood’s BergenPAC theater for a performance of “Dot Dot Dot.” The show was based on three of author Peter Reynolds’ books—”The Dot,” “Ish,” and “Sky Color.” Each book encourages us to explore our creativity, think outside the box, and have a growth mindset. The books and the play emphasize the value of being okay with being ish, and that effort—not perfection—is the goal. It was awesome to see the pages of these classroom favorites come to life. Everyone loved Peter Reynolds and the important lifelong messages he shared.

BPY’s annual all school Purim Carnival culminated the spectacular weeks of celebrating the month of Adar! The children came dressed to impress and had a great day at the carnival which was run by the middle school students. They concluded the day with Kabbalat Shabbat and a costume contest. Everyone was excited for the raffle drawing on Shushan Purim!
One outstanding tradition at BPY is to hear the fifth grade students prepare and execute reading the entire Megillah a few days ahead of Purim. What an amazing perspective this gives the students when approaching Purim!
(Zion Sports) Get ready to witness the unstoppable force of the first grade Zion girls basketball team as they hit the court in their fierce new hot pink swag! Bringing together talent from BPY, Yavneh Academy, Yeshivat He’Atid, and more, these girls are a powerhouse group!
